How the Potential TikTok Ban Could Affect African Creators in the United States – Africa.com
On January 19, more than 170 million Americans may be unable to use TikTok due to federal legislation forcing the sale of TikTok or a U.S. ban. The move, which was backed by the Supreme Court, has far-reaching consequences, especially for African creators such as Maame Adwoa and Inioluwa Olu-Owotade. TikTok has been a transformative platform for creators, offering global reach, collaboration opportunities, and cultural exposure. Despite challenges such as pay gaps and low visibility, African creators use TikTok to showcase their culture and connect with audiences around the world. The ban threatens this unique space for creativity, community and cultural exchange, leaving many creators deeply worried about their futures.
