As now, Tiktok is scheduled to be banned in the United States on January 19 if the technology company does not withdraw before.
Tachkok said this step will lead to “huge and unprecedented control.” “Estimates indicate that small companies on Tiktok will lose more than a billion dollars in revenue and creators will suffer approximately $ 300 million of missing profits in only one month unless the ban is stopped.”

“For all those who want to save Tiktok in America, Trump’s vote,” is he He said in a video clip It was published on the social truth in September. “The other side closes it.”
