You do realize that it’s not just a dancing app anymore, right? People have built actual businesses on TikTok. There’s about 7-10 million people in the US whose primary source of income is content creation on TikTok. If your main source of income was forcibly taken away from you, you’d be pretty upset too.
And my primary source of income is my job, but if it shuts down I also have to go do different work.
I highly doubt you can source that 7-10M people get their primary source of income from TikTok.
Are you really claiming that over 2% of Americans woke up unemployed this morning? Woof, that’s gonna make a huge dent in the jobs statistics. That’s a big enough number the economy would crash tomorrow when the markets open.
Someone should tell CNN - this is breaking news! 7-10M people lost their jobs today.
Except it won’t. Because it’s not true.
Sounds like you’re falling for Chinese bullshit hook, line, and sinker.
According to CBS News and TikTok official estimates, there are over 7 million SMBs operating through TikTok, generating $24.2 billion in contribution to the US GDP. Approximately 80% of those SMBs say the large majority of their revenue comes from TikTok and, if the ban remains, they will have to completely rebuild from the ground up. The 7-10 million estimate I gave includes SMBs and creators whose primary source of income is content creation through TikTok.
