Some demonstrators say that threats to ban the app are due to xenophobia or efforts to maintain the U.S. public image on privacy issues related to China. Nonetheless, most TikTok creators that staged the demonstration in front of the Capitol agree that banning the app will rob them of the community they\u2019ve built.\n    <\/p>\n<div id=\"dsk-banner-ad-g\"><\/div>\n<p>\n        \u201cFor me as a creator and also someone who&#8217;s seen the power of the app, when I think of TikTok, I think of community, I think of support,\u201d said TikToker Tony Weaver Jr. \u201cAnd I think that\u2019s something that would be terrible to lose.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>&#8216;Read More From <a\n    href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/videos\/-democrats-creators-protest-tiktok-ban-us-capitol\">&#8220;Democratic lawmakers join TikTok creators at<br \/>\n    US Capitol to protest banning the app&#8221;<\/a>&#8216;<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:11px\"><em>&#8220;The views and opinions expressed here are solely those of the author of the article and not necessarily shared or endorsed by Conservative News Daily&#8221;<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Members of Congress and the White House have spoken out about data privacy concerns related to the short-form video app TikTok, even threatening an all-out ban of the platform in the U.S. last week.
