The recent ban of TikTok in the United States has sent shockwaves through the influencer community, with many expressing their distress and frustration online. Celebrities such as Kourtney Kardashian, Lizzo, and Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag have shared emotional posts, mourning the loss of the platform that has been central to their careers and personal connections.
Lizzo, for instance, criticized the government’s actions as manipulative, suggesting that the ban was intended to incite fear among the public. Other influencers have posted tearful videos, pleading with the government to reconsider, highlighting the significant impact TikTok has had on their livelihoods and communities.
The ban, driven by national security concerns due to TikTok’s ownership by Chinese company ByteDance, has led to widespread distress among users. The Supreme Court’s decision to uphold the ban has left many influencers uncertain about their future on the platform.
In response, some influencers are urging President-elect Donald Trump to intervene and save the app, while others are exploring alternative platforms to maintain their online presence. The situation underscores the profound impact of social media platforms on modern careers and personal expression.
