Summary

Earlier this month, the House voted overwhelmingly to pass a bill banning TikTok if its Chinese parent company, ByteDance, doesn’t sell the app to an American owner. As the bill awaits a vote in the Senate, many users of the controversial social media platform have voiced their outrage over the legislation. Many TikTok users even say the popular video app has become a major source of income for their families. Two Influencers angry over the bill are owners of Bar7Ranch, Cody and Erika Archie. Cody and Erika recently joined host FOX News Rundown host Dave Anthony to discuss how a ban will negatively impact small businesses like theirs, and how they feel about critics of the app who say it is a spying tool for China. They also shared how they began influencing, why they think videos about their lives and animals are popular, and how people like them have turned short video clips into cash. We made edits for time and thought you might like to hear more from TikTok influencers and Cody and Erika Archie. On today’s FOX News Rundown Extra, you’ll hear more about the couple and the app at the center of this international debate. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
