While talking to Variety at the Vanity Fair Oscars' Red Carpet 2024 on March 10, Emma Chamberlain gave her opinion on the possible TikTok ban:

"I sort of personally banned TikTok myself on my own life. Like two years ago I deleted it cause I thought, I just realised it's kind of an unhealthy app at times mentally maybe, especially for me so I was like we're getting rid of this."

She also added:

"I think if it went away, you know, I would be, maybe would be a relief, it would be kind of, it would kind of rattle the whole world, I don't know how it would impact."

Her response to a possible TikTok ban received mixed reactions, with people commenting on Pop Crave's post on X.
