TikTok creators are voicing their opposition to the U.S. government’s regulatory plans. As the Senate considers a proposal that would force ByteDance to divest its popular video app, 17 TikTokers have signed an open letter that urges President Biden to reconsider.
The open letter includes five talking points that underscore TikTok’s contributions to the creator economy. The signees pushed back on arguments made by TikTok’s opponents by celebrating their open expression on the app and the financial support they’ve received from it. They also warned the president not to antagonize TikTok’s Gen Z audience during an election year; while older consumers may see the app as a security risk, its younger users “do not feel endangered” and do not believe Congressional distrust is warranted.
The signees cited Project Texas as evidence that TikTok is taking security concerns seriously, and they stressed that they would continue to support the app.

Even if you don’t know Nadya Okamoto‘s name, there’s a good chance if you’re on TikTok, you’ve seen her work, or more specifically, intimate details about her life, career, and menstrual cycle. Okamoto wants to change how the world thinks about periods — but it’s a bloody fight.
