Yep, it's real. TikTok, as of today, has just been banned in the USA. People did not believe it regarding the process last year in India. Well, the same case happened to the US, but here we are. Good luck to the influencers who have never diversed their income streams outside of TikTok. **BUT THERE IS A BIG BUT** When you look at the app as an American citizen, it does say "temporary," so there is still hope. I was never a big TikTok friend, but damm, that's tough for those who were. **Let's hope the US government can find a solution**
