TikTok launched a $2.1 million advertising campaign try to stop Congress from voting on a measure to effectively ban the social media app in the U.S. that will be run in states in which Senate Democrats are in tough reelection bids.
The bill, targeting the app, whose parent company is China based, overwhelmingly passed the GOP-controlled House and now awaits a vote in the Senate.
“Think about the 5 million small business owners that rely on TikTok to provide for their families,” a TikTok user said in the ad, which will run through mid-April, according to CNBC News.
Another user says about the short-form video app, immensely popular among young Americans: “To see all of that disappear would be so sad."
