A ban of TikTok would particularly impact Generation Z, who use the platform for creative expression, social connection, and even for a source of income with influencer partnerships. The algorithmically governed, short-form content allows viral trends, creativity, and activism to flow on TikTok; it is a core platform for young people. This ban would destroy this, leaving no avenue for self-expression and community to this generation. While other platforms might siphon users, they wouldn't be able to offer TikTok's level of engagement and creativity.
