As someone who uses TikTok audios along with millions of others, I understand the importance of audio in creating engaging content. The recent decision to mute all TikToks has not only affected my livelihood but also those of countless other creators who rely on this platform for income. We are part of an estimated 689 million monthly active users worldwide (Datareportal, 2021), many of whom use audios to enhance their content and engage with their audience. By muting all videos, TikTok is stifling creativity and affecting the livelihoods of its users. I feel as though TikTok itself will be severely impacted by this as well. We urge TikTok to reconsider this decision and bring back the audios for everyone's benefit. Your signature can make a difference in preserving creative freedom on one of the world's most popular social media platforms. Please sign this petition today!
