We know a lot of things are up in the air with the TikTok ban scheduled to go into effect this weekend.

But everyone – the Biden Administration, the incoming Trump Administration, even the Supreme Court – should continue working to find a way to find an American buyer for TikTok, so we can both free the app from any influence and control from the Chinese Communist Party and keep TikTok going, which will preserve the jobs of millions of creators.
