Maybe a TikTok ban wouldn't be so bad: A creator's perspective
In April, President Biden signed a bill threatening a nationwide ban of popular social media platform TikTok if parent company ByteDance doesn't divest ownership of the app. TikTok has since challenged the looming ban in US courts on grounds of free speech obstruction under the First Amendment. The app is a huge proponent of brand exposure and advertising, leaving TikTok creators having to revamp their business models if the US government ends up enforcing a ban. Writer, educator, and finance influencer Kyla Scanlon explains the migration to other platforms the creator economy could likely make if worst comes to worst, and why a departure from TikTok "wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing." Catch Yahoo Finance's full interview with Kyla Scanlon with Josh Lipton and Julie Hyman, where they talk everything economics, social media, and Scanlon's new book "In this Economy? How Money and Markets Really Work." For more expert insight and the latest market action, click here to watch this full episode of Asking for a Trend. This post was written by Luke Carberry Mogan.
