Rest assured, someone else is already building a similar platform to take its place. American based.

Soooo, TikTok is doing....exactly what all other social apps do.

These reporters are so out of touch, it’s not just “influencers” who will loose money it’s MILLONS of American small business owners

[cynicamane]

Life has been so much better before tiktok came, BAN TIKTOK!!

[NakedSageAstrology]

How could it not be more obvious that this is social media companies taking out their competition? Capitalism 101.

TikTok will just make another app just under a different name & we'll all just go there.

[wedgeheelshunterlegend]

About time TikTok is just a waste of time of people making pointless videos. Good Riddance.

Nothing about Facebook, Instagram, X...or any other social media platform...seems a bit odd.

I dont like tiktok just because i dont think its user friendly because Its too much going on all at once BUT I DONT think it should be banned because i believe people have a right to download whatever app they want and watch whatever they want. Israel is one of the big main reasons as to why its getting banned, and i suggest you look into why a foreign country is so concerned about what apps Americans should have on their phone and what they should be watching

Losing TikTok and losing “influencers” would be amazing.

[vistacollege]

Ban facebook and all social media then

[ZGamingofficial]

So TikTok will be banned because it’s too alike with other social media platforms?

[ThisIsMyYoutubeName]

How many times have we heard this before

[menty]

Facebook has all that data and more, and the only difference here is that the NSA probably has an office in their data center where they don't with ByteDance. If they ban one, they should be banning others too.

[Nisha_xo]

The citizens are making money on that app to pay their bills but y’all want it to be canceled ???
Yeah I don’t understand this Country.

[harriz]

Sells the company to someone in the USA🙄

[alexlopez]

BAN IT! DO THE PEOPLE A FAVOR AND BAN IT!

[FDR-wwxz]

I’m gonna guess everyone is just gonna keep dancing and type all the “save TikTok” stuff.
