Too many bought the lies that TikTok was a threat - only app that I’ve never had hacked, never been “fact checked” and had videos taken down on, and earned money without paying for advertising.

[Tiffany Cianci @TheVinoMom]

You don’t know the first thing about the economics of TikTok and economic importance It has for small businesses. I’m a Small business advocate that speaks before Congress and speaks before the federal trade commission, and right now 7.1 million small businesses in America are terrified they’re going to have to lay off their employees, or that they’re going to default on their loans.

@Meta and @Google are PAY TO PLAY when you create a business account. They don’t allow you organic growth, because they require you to pay for ads to access your customer base. Because 99% of their revenue comes from ad revenue. The majority of small businesses don’t have the capital to compete in that space, and as a result, they fail at a rate of almost 50% in the first year in the United States. The rate was half that when we had the yellow pages and everyone could be found.
TikTok doesn’t require any ads to access organic user growth, to define organically, growing customer base, and they’re very good at hyper localization targeting. They’ve made it the only black former small businesses can compete with monopolies. That’s why 7.1 million small businesses rely on Tiktok for their income. That’s why 700,000 Americans rely on those small businesses for employment. That’s why tens of billions of dollars and enter the US economy through those small businesses.

Large swaths of that income is related small businesses, ability to sell On tikTok shop without a buyin. They simply pay a small percentage for the access, and that way they never pay anything unless they’re having success.

TikTok level the playing field for small businesses in America, and meta-, Google, and Amazon have lost billions to them as a result. This has nothing to do with national security. I don’t know a single company that didn’t want a data privacy bill instead of a TikTok ban. TikTok also supported a data privacy bill , but meta-and Google lobbied against it because they could not comply.

Small business represents 99.9% of all businesses in America. They create 98.9% of all job growth. Social Media is the battlefield where they are losing the war to try to preserve the backbone of America’s economy. You should educate yourself before you say things you don’t understand.
Save TikTok

Again, it’s about US Congress

I think it’s fair to say the American People are wide awake to the absolute scam that Congress really is and have had enough

The TikTok ban is not about China, in fact it has nothing to do with China. #tiktokban

@elonmusk this is why TikTok is so important to us! We are not suppressed when sharing our point of view over there! I’m disappointed in X

[Tiffany Cianci @TheVinoMom]

Hey @elonmusk - Why is @X suppressing and deleting the posts and engagement being brought to X tonight by the TikTok Community?! These are real people - not BOTS, fighting to Save TikTok for small businesses, creators, and our economy. They have come here to make their voices heard by their political representatives. STOP DELETING ALL OF YOUR NEW USERS ACCOUNTS and suspending them for taking action - this is supposed to be a platform built on 1a?!

[Brenda Kilhoffer @EquineLearnLab]

There will be other apps and other opportunities for us, butgovernment will never have another opportunity to prove you care about the American people. We will NEVER trust you or any other platform! You are taking away the one platform that allowed us free speech and opportunity

[Tiffany Cianci @TheVinoMom]

TikTok Family, your voices are being heard!! They will NEVER silence us. We are 170 million Americans, 7 Million Small Businesses, Hundreds of Thousands of Employees of TikTok businesses, and Millions of Creators that rely on TikTok to provide for our families! Keep sharing your stories and fighting to Save TikTok!!! @POTUS - issue the statement needed to keep the lights on, and @realDonaldTrump, PLEASE remember that we are counting on you to deliver on your promise to protect our community and economy by saving @tiktok_us!

[Brenda Kilhoffer @EquineLearnLab]

Just earned my first $ 500 in commissions on TikTok only to discover payment is now deferred! I put tons of effort into becoming a creator on the app and just as I begin to see success… government overreach!

[Tiffany Cianci @TheVinoMom]

As a creator and small business advocate the following is my statement on the TikTok ruling today at the Supreme Court of the United States.

While many would expect TikTok creators to prepare for the worst after the Supreme Court's decision to uphold the TikTok ban, we are instead steadying ourselves and placing our trust in @realDonaldTrump to deliver on his promise to Save TikTok. Millions of small businesses across America rely on TikTok not just as a platform but as a lifeline. Hundreds of thousands of American workers are employed because of the businesses thriving on TikTok, and millions of creators use it to pay their bills in an economy where Congress has failed them time and time again.

This ban represents everything wrong with Washington. It’s a law born of lobbying dollars, fear-mongering, and backroom deals—yet those same forces can’t seem to get Congress to pass laws to lower healthcare costs, ensure a living wage, or address America’s crumbling infrastructure. Congress spent its time and resources rushing through this attack on small businesses and free speech while ignoring the pressing issues that impact everyday Americans. This TikTok ban is a stark reminder that our lawmakers can move swiftly when they’re well-funded by special interests, but drag their feet—or outright fail—when it comes to serving the people they’re supposed to represent.

We’ve watched as Congress sat idle on meaningful solutions to problems plaguing the American people: inflation, healthcare inequities, stagnant wages, skyrocketing housing costs, and a student loan crisis that burdens millions. Yet here we are, witnessing the swift passage of a law that harms creators, employees, and entrepreneurs—people who were simply trying to survive and thrive in an economy stacked against them.

As an advocate for the creators and businesses of @tiktok_us, I am profoundly disappointed in the Supreme Court's decision. But more than that, I am horrified by the law itself—a law that reveals the depths of dysfunction in our government and its failure to prioritize the real needs of its citizens.

@realDonaldTrump, you once said you would fight to save TikTok, a platform that empowers the backbone of our economy: small businesses and hardworking Americans. We’re counting on you to honor that promise. The millions of entrepreneurs, workers, and creators who rely on TikTok are waiting—and so is America.

@BryanKemper I don’t know that he actually said that, but if he did, how is today’s event any different from the claims made against Trump on January 6th?
