TikTok is asking creators to use the hashtag #KeepTikTok to share what the app means to them and how it has positively impacted them.
TikTok is calling on creators to share what the platform means to them as a bill to ban the app in the U.S. moves through Congress.
"A TikTok shutdown will silence your creativity," said the official @TikTokcreators account on Instagram.
"Every day, 170 million people depend on TikTok for education, entertainment, and personal expression," said the company. "Five million small businesses use TikTok to reach their customers. Millions of people in marginalized communities use TikTok to connect with each other."
In the post, TikTok urged creators to create a video on what TikTok means to them and how it has positively impacted their lives using #KeepTikTok.
"This bill would ban TikTok, stripping 170 million Americans of their constitutional right to free expression," said TikTok.
