Carly Ann Goddard is a 22-year-old mom who lives in Eastern Montana. She posts daily on Tiktok. This gives her confidence and a purpose, but now this living dream has been snatched from her, permanently…
Goddard makes around $2000 to $6000 monthly as an influencer by posting videos of her son and herself cooking recipes, showing her furniture, and doing things viewers enjoy watching. Now, she has almost tripled the money of her family income by using this platform.
At first, things seemed to be going well until Montana issued a ban, insisting that the risk of Chinese owners turning to Anti-American propaganda may raise concerns. However, the 22-year-old mom is not in agreement with this reasoning.
Goddard joined a protest with four other Tiktokers saying the ban violates their First Amendment rights. This heated debate not only touched Montana but the rest of the country as well. However, with this debate, there have been a lot of issues. Goddard often got hate comments saying that she was a communist and that her continuing the debate would cause Montana to fall to ruin.
TikTok is one of the raging debates in Montana at the moment. Interviews with Montana, according to The Washington Post, show 41 percent of Americans want to ban, 25 percent are against the ban, and 34 percent are not sure about the ban.
With the interview, the ones who are against the ban are still fighting. One of the four Tiktokers who teamed up with Goddard spoke up against the ban. DiRocco is a military veteran who took an oath to protect her people.
“I served in the Marines because I believe in the freedoms we have in this country,” DiRocco said while sitting on a city bench in Bozeman. “I don’t believe we’re a communist country. I don’t believe that we are a fascist country. Do I see warning signs of it? Absolutely.”
Goddard just can’t imagine a life without the platform. She says that using Tiktok has supported her family. Before, they could only shop once a month at their local grocery store, but now, they can shop whenever they want.
“I’ve gotten so used to making this money,” Goddard said. “I don’t think I can return to being just paycheck to paycheck.”
