How Will The US TikTok Ban Affect Influencers?

-

After I heard the news about the US banning TikTok & WeChat downloads, I couldn't help but wonder how this ban would affect TikTok influencers.

I don't know that much about TikTok, but I am aware that there are thousands of influencers that use it to build their brand and following. For example, influencers like Loren Gray, Baby Ariel and Cash Baker have over 10 million followers (amazing). This ban will not only affect their digital presence, it can also potentially affect their income. 

Below are some articles that give more insight as to how a TikTok ban will affect users and influencers.
