Today I want to bring it back into the secular world. Specifically, the looming TikTok ban that is set to happen this coming Sunday, January 19th, 2025.
The US Government is concerned that the app can be used to spy on Americans, and that the Chinese Government can demand collected information from the company which owns and runs TikTok.
Sadly, this means that a lot of content creators, who have been making a living off of TikTok are about to lose their income. It's going to happen, Just Like That.

As a content creator myself, I feel the pain. In fact, I once ran a blog that covered a very controversial topic that became somewhat successful and even made a little bit of money through Google AdSense, only to have it cut off the minute Google made a new rule that my blog apparently didn't follow. Just like that, it was gone.
Now I blog for the artistic and creative expression rather than the money. If I can make a little bit, then great, but I have learned not to rely on it. It takes too much work.
We shall see what happens though.
