TikTok may be facing a total ban in the U.S., following years of pushback from the government. Users and creators alike are alarmed at the prospect of losing their favorite app.
Among them is model and writer Emily Ratajkowski, who has a significant following on TikTok and posted her thoughts on why the app may be so threatening to officials in the country.
After the House passed a bill that could ban TikTok across the country on Thursday, Ratajkowski took to TikTok and her 2.7 million followers with a response, saying that TikTok has become a hub for politics and activism, important to so many users and yet potentially threatening to higher forces.
