Small business owners in the community share opinions on the possibility of a TikTok ban

This week marks a potential turning point for the popular app TikTok, as the House passed a bill that could lead to its banishment due to national security concerns. Many users, including entrepreneur Mignon Moore, are feeling frustrated by the push to ban TikTok, as the platform has played a significant role in expanding Moore’s Business, Gimme Moore Sweet Treats Boutique in Gretna. Moore attributes TikTok to bringing her business to new heights, allowing her to showcase her artistry in creating sweet treats while attracting customers from around the world.

However, the bill passed by the House raises concerns about the Chinese company that owns TikTok accessing sensitive user data, prompting calls for greater protection of American data. House majority leader Steve Scalise emphasized the importance of safeguarding user data, particularly for the young people who are active on TikTok. The legislation proposes the sale of TikTok to an American company, but questions remain about how American companies will handle user data.

As the fate of TikTok now rests in the hands of the Senate, the future of the popular app hangs in the balance. Despite the potential ban, users and businesses like Moore’s are left wondering about the implications for their online presence and the protection of their data. Stay tuned for the latest updates on this evolving story.
