Tiktok 'brought us out of poverty': Influencer on possible ban | NewsNation Prime

Sell or be banned in the U.S., that’s the dilemma facing TikTok, the social media behemoth owned by a Chinese firm. Lawmakers passed and President Joe Biden signed the bill calling on TikTok owner Bytedance to sell TikTok within one year or be banned in the U.S. Bytedance says it plans to sue, and creators like Jason Linton are watching with extreme interest.

NO, ppl are RELYING on TikTok instead of working a REAL job. Ban it.

[@TheRedEagle1993]

If they make more money what's your problem?? do you have only fans bebe????

[@wereproductsnotconsumers8179]

​@@TheRedEagle1993Socialists control that app. The amount of ignorance required to use an app from China is extreme.

[@khatzeye]

People have been pulling themselves out of poverty long before tik tok 😂 are they for real??

[@kelseykaye7269]

Jeez you'll have to get a real job 😭

[@wereproductsnotconsumers8179]

Would you be defending an app created and managed by the Germans in the 30's and 40's?

The damage is already done. What’s the point? The Federal government reacts slowly. They aren’t proactive, just reactive.

Thank you for the opportunity to share my story. TikTok has been a blessing to me and so many others. Many lives saved and so many veterans supported through advocacy groups on this app because of its unique ability to connect people and build community. To the people saying ban it because it’s not a real job aren’t understanding how TikTok took the attention away from out of touch Hollywood elites and allowed regular class American citizens to reach an audience of their fellow Americans and bring joy, laughter, lessons, and love into homes around the world. Actors, musicians, film makers, teachers, doctors creating content that made a difference in the world. Should only Hollywood be deemed special enough to have such opportunities or is it ok for us regular folks to have an audience too?

People need to get an actual job? wow thats so sad!!

[@Augfordpdoggie]

[@mc1993]
