Users inundated lawmakers with calls after they were warned that Congress might enact a “total ban” on the app. Yet the bill at hand is showing no signs of slowing down.
The pressure campaign was in part sparked by a TikTok notification warning of a “total ban” and urging users to let their representatives “know what TikTok means to you and tell them to vote NO.” With at least 150 million active users in the US, TikTok’s attempt to rally its consumer base led to some House offices receiving hundreds of calls—and as many as 20 in a single minute, according to The Washington Post.
Donald Trump, for one, has come out in support of the app. “If you get rid of TikTok, Facebook and Zuckerschmuck will double their business,” he wrote on Truth Social Thursday. “I don’t want Facebook, who cheated in last election, doing better,” Trump added, without providing evidence for said misdoings. Republican Dan Crenshaw, meanwhile, has argued in favor of the app’s total prohibition. “No one is trying to disguise anything,” the Texas congressman wrote in a recent post on X.
