#拜登签署tiktok禁令 U.S. influencer protests#It is reported that U.S. President Joe Biden signed a ban involving TikTok on April 24, 2024, demanding that Chinese tech company ByteDance divest TikTok in the next nine to twelve months, or the app will face a ban on the U.S. market. As soon as this news was released, it caused an uproar in the United States, and many American Internet celebrities, entrepreneurs and people expressed their opposition.
They said the ban would destroy their careers and that the results of years of work would be "permanently erased." Many TikTok users believe that the app has had a positive impact on their lives and work by providing them with a platform to express themselves and share their ideas. As a result, they are stressed that the app could be banned in the United States, fearing that it will be a "devastating" blow to their careers.
Some influencers and creators have taken to social media to express their dissatisfaction and protest against the ban. They argue that the bill violates their freedom of speech and focuses too much on TikTok and ignores other tech companies such as Meta and Google. They point out that other companies with some Chinese holdings have been able to stay out of the way, a double standard that makes them angry and puzzled.
At the same time, some have questioned the reasonableness of the ban. They argue that the U.S. government has failed to provide sufficient evidence to prove that TikTok poses a risk to national security. Instead, they point out that TikTok has repeatedly denied accusations of handing over user data to the Chinese government and has tried to distance itself from ByteDance.
During the protests, some influencers and citizens also called on people to call their representatives to express their opposition to the TikTok ban. In this way, they hope that the government will make their voices heard and reconsider the rationale for this ban.
