Content creator discusses impact of looming TikTok ban
The United States is looking to ban TikTok, with concerns that it's a threat to national security. Nearly two weeks ago, a U.S. Appeals Court upheld a law that would ban TikTok in January, unless the China-based parent company agrees to sell it.

“Honestly, I was able to charge a little more because I have a little bit of an audience on TikTok. So that's been a game changer," said Molina.
The United States is looking to ban TikTok, with concerns that it's a threat to national security.
A U.S. Appeals Court upheld a law nearly two weeks ago that would ban TikTok in January, unless the China-based parent company agrees to sell it.
Molina says the ban would have a tough impact on content creators.
“It will take a really big hit because even if TikTok is not your main platform, we still cross post videos on Instagram to TikTok. So maybe our rates will be a little lower. And also a lot of people, a lot of creators on TikTok, make money off of videos," said Molina.
TikTok is asking the Supreme Court to step in and help prevent the ban. Earlier this week, President-elect Donald Trump met with the CEO of TikTok.
