Carter Kench, a 17-year old from Atlanta, Georgia, with 2.4 million TikTok followers, said he had been worried in July when he first heard about the threat of a ban. Several videos with hashtags that TikTok users have used to discuss the threat of a ban, including ‘TikTokBan,’ and ‘SaveTikTok,’ reached nearly 2 billion views by Friday. “It absolutely makes me feel fatigued,” said Jen Ruiz, a travel blogger with nearly 131,000 TikTok followers.

Charli D’Amelio, the most-followed TikTok star with 87.5 million followers, recently began posting videos to her account on Triller, a US-owned TikTok rival.
