TikTok influencers express disappointment and sadness after Supreme Court ruling: 'I can't believe this is happening'

The Supreme Court's decision to uphold a law banning the Chinese-owned social media platform TikTok in the US has left influencers on the app in mourning.

Emily Senn, a well-known voice on the app, burst into tears upon hearing the news and vowed to "never forgive" the U.S. government for its actions against TikTok.

"You will never regain my trust because you arbitrarily took away millions of people's income and livelihood, and who does that?" she demanded on Friday morning.

Over the past three years, TikTok has financially supported Senn, who lost her job as a cruise ship singer due to the pandemic, and provided her with a sense of community.

Madilynn Cameron, with over 1 million followers on TikTok and a signed petition to save the platform, urged her followers to stay "calm and hopeful" that either President Biden or President-elect Trump would intervene.

""Our country is being mocked by others as a laughingstock," she stated."

Many other popular accounts were devastated and angry about the news.

On Friday, Kelsey Pumel, a well-known social media personality and content producer, posted a video titled "Farewell to free speech" and voiced her concerns about the government's priorities.

"I can't believe the government prioritizes an unproven app over the pressing issues affecting our country, such as the healthcare crisis, lack of affordable housing, and the growing homeless population. It's ridiculous," she said.

Alex Pearlman, a podcast host and influencer, seemed agitated after the Supreme Court made a unanimous ruling.

"Y'all can't agree that kids shouldn't be shot in school. Y'all can't agree that women should have healthcare. But a TikTok ban? Y'all lined up and said, what's this about? The Chinese? Yo f--- them mother---ers."

On Friday, the Supreme Court upheld a federal law that would prohibit TikTok from operating in the US if it does not sell its US operations within two days of the bipartisan divestiture law's implementation.

"TikTok offers a unique platform for expression, engagement, and community for more than 170 million Americans, but Congress has decided that divestiture is necessary to address national security concerns about TikTok's data collection practices and ties to a foreign adversary."

"Based on the preceding arguments, we determine that the contested provisions do not infringe upon petitioners' First Amendment freedoms. The decision of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit is upheld."

There were no noted dissents.

The app has received apparent support from President-elect Trump in recent months.
