TikTok has cultivated a unique online ecosystem that cannot be easily replicated on other platforms. A ban would dismantle these vibrant communities and silence millions of users who rely on the app for social connections and income. While TikTok must address valid privacy and mental health concerns, an outright ban would have severe consequences for creators and users alike. The Extend the TikTok Deadline Act provides a reasonable extension to allow more time for a resolution that protects both national security interests and the rights of TikTok's massive American user base. This balanced approach acknowledges the complexities involved and allows space for a solution that avoids unduly harming the millions who have built communities and livelihoods on the platform. I urge you to vote in favor of the Extend the TikTok Deadline Act.
