Mississippi influencers react to potential TikTok ban
SUMMARY: The popular app TikTok may be banned in the United States as a bill passes the U.S. House and moves to the Senate. Local content creators in Jackson, Mississippi are worried about losing their platform for creativity and expression. Despite the potential ban, there is still hope for TikTok as U.S. owners have expressed interest in buying the app. Former U.S. Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin is looking to put together an investor group to purchase TikTok. President Biden has stated he will sign the bill into law if it reaches his desk.
