Amid threats of a ban by the U.S. Congress, TikTok has launched a multifaceted strategy to counteract the negative perception and potential legislative actions against it. The company has introduced a 'Youth Council' aimed at involving teenagers in decision-making processes, a move that comes after the passage of bipartisan House legislation targeting the platform for its alleged toxic and anti-free speech practices and ties to foreign entities. Additionally, TikTok is actively lobbying against the proposed ban, fearing repercussions not only in the U.S. but also in Canada and the UK. In an effort to sway public opinion and lawmakers, TikTok has initiated a $2.1 million TV ad campaign, focusing on the platform's positive impacts in the U.S. and targeting key states such as Nevada, Montana, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania. This campaign is in response to a series of anti-TikTok ads and the Senate's review of a bill that could lead to the app's removal from major app stores. Despite these efforts, some of TikTok's successful creators have expressed that they could live without the app if it were banned, highlighting the platform's uncertain future.
