170 million Americans. That’s how many of us built TikTok into a cultural juggernaut. Not the executives. Not the algorithm. We the People.
Now, US tech billionaires are lining up to buy the platform like it’s a piece of digital real estate with 170M residents on it.
But here’s the truth they won’t say out loud: Without the people, TikTok is worthless. We’re not just users—we’re the producers, creators, engagers and the heartbeat of the TikTok application.
So this time, we use our collective voice to demonstrate our power.
We’re done scrolling, liking, and doing lives in silence while a new owner cashes in on our creativity, attention, and community. The people of the United States created the platform value, but now a US business wins the lottery to acquire all the value it did not create? No.
We demand better:
Higher pay and fairer rates for content creators.
Monetary value for audience participation.
Transparency on how the algorithm works—so it works for us, not against us.
This is our shot. A once-in-a-decade moment to reshape the future of platforms. We have two weeks. If we don’t speak up now, someone else decides the terms of our digital lives for the next decade.
If you want equity, not exploitation—sign the pledge.
If you want power with your participation—sign the pledge.
If you want to own the value you help create—sign the pledge.
Because the next owner of TikTok doesn’t just need money. They need you.
Lead. Don’t follow.
