With a likely ban on the short-video app TikTok looming, creators seem split between denial and pure panic.
"Fascist countries ban apps. Fascist countries ban websites. Fascist countries ban apps and websites under the guise of threats to national security," said one popular creator in a video with more than 11 million views. "When every other country knows it's about suppressing the free speech of its citizens."
"We are literally not going to lose TikTok because it's either going to be pushed back, or it's going to be accepted as not banned because of that hearing," said another creator earlier this week. "Obviously it's scary, and I'm a little freaked out about it too, but realistically, I do not think it's going to be banned at all.
