SOUTH BEND, Ind. - 170 million Americans are on the app including 7 million businesses and content creators who use the app as a source of promotion and income.
Taylor Dustin, who goes by @thewanderingmichagander on all platforms and is originally from Southwest Michigan, says she began making posts during the pandemic about her weekend travels around Michigan.
Quickly, she gained thousands of followers and millions of likes across platforms and was able to quit her 9 to 5.
She worries all the hours spent building a platform on the app could be gone over night, and that for many creators and businesses, their following would not transfer to other platforms.
The legislation, that could potentially ban TikTok if China based ByteDance does not sell to an American owner, will move on to the senate who will vote to decide the app's fate.
