The livelihoods of TikTok content creators are at risk as pending legislation threatens to ban the popular video-sharing app in the U.S. Many TikTok creators have built successful careers and brand partnerships through the platform, but a ban could force them to find alternative ways to make a living. TikTok has attracted bipartisan scrutiny due to concerns over national security, with some lawmakers calling for American users' data to be kept out of the hands of its Chinese owner, ByteDance. Creators are now exploring other platforms like Instagram and YouTube as potential alternatives.

Recent reports suggest that TikTok's growth has hit a roadblock, and some users believe it's due to the app's heavy focus on commerce. TikTok has been aggressively promoting shopping posts in an attempt to establish itself as an e-commerce platform. However, according to a user survey, the majority of users have noticed the increase in shopping posts but are still using the app as frequently, indicating that they may not be bothered by it.

The US House of Representatives has voted in favour of passing a bill that would ban TikTok and other foreign-owned social media apps unless they sever ties with their foreign parent companies. The bill will now move to the Senate, where it faces an uncertain future. The legislation is the result of months of work and negotiations between representatives from both parties, and was expedited after TikTok launched an unsuccessful campaign urging users to call their representatives. The bill aims to protect national security, with concerns over TikTok's ties to China and the potential for foreign interference.
