At the beginning of 2025, the fate of TikTok in the US hangs by a thread. According to multiple sources,if the US Supreme Court fails to intervene in time to block the ban, TikTok may completely cease its services in the US on January 19 local time. This news has struck like a muffled thunder, not only shocking 170 million US users worldwide, but also causing countless creators and fans to feel anxious.

This is not just a technical ban, but a crack in everyday life.

In the past few years, TikTok has become a part of American users' lives—from heartwarming clips of teaching moms to dance to popular songs, to recording surprise proposals spanning thousands of miles with short videos, and even the viral spread that saves niche arts, the joy TikTok brings has deeply touched people's hearts. It records young people's love for life and carries the dreams and livelihoods of creators.

Now, all of this may come to an abrupt end.

The US government, citing "national security," has demanded that TikTok's parent company ByteDance divest its control, or else TikTok will be completely banned. This makes one wonder: Is this really a security issue, or another sacrifice of commercial competition being politicized?

Although ByteDance has repeatedly stated that user data is hosted by US company Oracle and that security measures have been upgraded layer by layer, these efforts still seem unable to change the situation.

Facing the countdown to the ban, a large number of users have chosen to stand up.

Many TikTok influencers have started to take action, expressing their love and support for TikTok through heartfelt messages in their creative videos, hoping the US government will reconsider this decision and allow TikTok to continue operating in the US.

These "KEEPTIKTOK" voices are not just emotional expressions, but a gathering of strength. They have made more people aware of TikTok's predicament and attracted widespread attention from all sectors of society.

As a member of global creators,Tuke cannot stand by and watch either. Every bit of passion and every act of perseverance from industry professionals is deeply felt by Tuke. We stand shoulder to shoulder with the vast TikTok workforce, voicing our support for this digital home full of hope and possibility. We sincerely hope TikTok can weather this storm, remain undisturbed by outside interference, and resume normal operations as soon as possible.

TikTok belongs not only to creators and users, but also to this era of globalization.

Moreover, this storm affects not only TikTok, but also diversity and innovation.

If TikTok is forced to shut down, the ones most hurt may not be ByteDance, but countless ordinary Americans. Without TikTok, the US social media ecosystem will become more homogeneous, and users' choices will be forcibly reduced. More importantly, the cultural value brought by TikTok's creative vitality will be hard to replace.

Fortunately, hope has never disappeared.

Many human rights organizations, business groups, and countless TikTok users and creators are voicing their opinions. They hope the government will reconsider the ban and give TikTok a fair chance.

Meanwhile, newly elected President Trump also seems to be planning to delay the execution of the ban.

Foreign media reports that Trump isconsidering issuing an executive order after taking office to suspend the enforcement of the TikTok sale or ban law for 60 to 90 days.Trump stated that he has a wide following on the TikTok platform, with over 14 million fans, and hopes to fulfill his previous campaign promises. This news brings a glimmer of hope to TikTok's future in the US.

However, everything is still uncertain at the moment, and we can only wait and see.

TikTok is not just a short video platform; it records people's laughter and tears, conveys creativity and warmth. For countless people, it is something irreplaceable.

When we shout "KEEPTIKTOK," we are actually guarding those irreplaceable memories and dreams.

The future may be full of uncertainties, but Tuke will always accompany the vast TikTok workforce, standing together with everyone who loves TikTok.

We hope that the call of "KEEPTIKTOK" can become a force to change history.

TikTok will still be the place that brings a knowing smile. We hope it is not only the starting point of the story, but can also usher in a more exciting sequel.
