April President Joe Biden signed a law that would ban America's most popular social media platform unless its owner bite dance sells it as a last ditch effort by the company to Halt the ban goes before The Supreme Court today real people who rely on the platform have their livelihoods in doubt CNN's Claire Duffy talks to one such content creator who's built a community of millions of followers and shows us what a ticktock band could mean for the broader economy Joanne Molinaro is one of nearly 2 million content creators on Tik Tok bracing for a potential

ban and she's already feeling the financial effects I do brand deals as an influencer well those brands are not willing to spend dollars right now because they're terrified oh why would I spend money on a campaign that's going to just fall flat on its face in a few days Tik Tok estimates small businesses would lose more than $1 billion in revenue and creators would suffer almost $300 million in Lost earnings in just one month if the app is banned a Tik Tac ban would be absolutely catastrophic for the creators and the small businesses who rely

on it the way most of these individuals are making money are through brand deals exclusive to Tik Tok it's really not coming from Tik Tok itself it's going to be a huge loss for these individuals given how big the Creator economy has become do you see an impact potentially to the broader economy if Tik Tok goes away I absolutely do if you are relying on Tik Tok shop to help your small business and all of a sudden you're losing a main outlet for sales your sales are going to go down which means now your employees

you may struggle to pay your employees you may struggle to bring uh Financial income into your own household so there's going to be a ripple effect if if Tik Tok is banned other platforms like Instagram Facebook and YouTube will likely benefit content creators are resilient they're not going to throw up their hands and say well I'm done right I'm they will pivot they will pivot to YouTube they will pivot to Instagram I do believe there could be a this is just my guess on on my own 2025 predictions there could be another social media app
