TikTok creators in the U.S. expressed worry over the House passing a bill that could lead to a TikTok ban, citing threats to livelihoods and freedom of speech. The proposed legislation would require TikTok to divest from ByteDance and be acquired by a U.S. company within six months if passed by the Senate and signed by President Biden. Creators highlighted the platform\'s diverse uses beyond entertainment and raised concerns about antitrust laws hindering American companies from acquiring TikTok, potentially leading to an effective ban.
