TikTok has been in the news recently as the U.S. wants to ban the app over fears of the Chinese government using it for surveillance, with Montana being the first state to officially ban the app. With 150 million Americans using TikTok, a blanket ban of the app could have a large impact on people’s livelihoods, especially those who rely TikTok for income.
At NewsBTC we wanted to analyze some of the biggest crypto and financial influencers on the platform to find out what they could potentially lose if TikTok is banned in the U.S.A.
