INDIANAPOLIS—A bipartisan bill in congress would ban the use of TikTok in the U.S. The app is one of the most popular social media apps in the world. There are more then 170 million users in America alone. The reason behind the attempted ban has to do with concerns over the Chinese owner. Congress is concerned about what they might do with American data.
"Brands like Rihanna Savage X Fenty, to Fashion Nova and a lot of different brands that helped build you know your platform to another level,” Buckley said. “So, when that happened I was able to bring lucrative income in, in different ways."Before Buckley was in influencer he worked with kids, something he still does through his nonprofit The Hub. During NBA All Star Weekend, he rewarded kids in an after school program he runs with NBA All Star tickets.
"That has brought a better connection with me with youth here even in the city of Indianapolis and without TikTok that wouldn't have happened,” Buckley said."Here in America, we are free to do whatever we please to and that’s a dream and we are free to make our dreams come true,” Buckley said. “By banning it is just telling us 'here is a slap on the wrist you can't be creative you can't do these things because it's not controlled.
“Generally speaking, the supreme court frowns on what it calls prior restraints, what we call censorship by the government,” Anthony Fargo the Director of the IU Bloomington Center for Int'l Media & Law & Policy Studies said. “Because of the foreign ownership the questions of data security carry a little bit more potential national security implications then it would in regard to Facebook or Instagram or other websites.
