Secondly, it mentions the legislative actions, including bills in Congress aimed at either banning TikTok or forcing its sale to a non-Chinese entity. Thirdly, the article explores the economic impact, noting that a ban could affect content creators, small businesses, and the broader digital marketing landscape.
