Brandon Hurst told LAist he relies on the social media app for his business, Brandon The Plant Guy. After losing his job at the start of the pandemic, he began selling plants on different social media platforms. But as people began going back to work, he said his business suffered, so he began selling on TikTok. Over the past 11 months, he said he's sold more than 50,000 plants on the app.

If the ban passes in the Senate and is eventually signed by President Joe Biden, TikTok’s owners — Beijing based ByteDance — will have to find another buyer for the app within six months or face the ban. Hurst says that while “we definitely need laws in place that protect our data," concerns shouldn't be focused specifically on TikTok.
