Potential TikTok Ban in the U.S. and the Rise of an Alternative App
January 15, 2025
TikTok may be banned in the U.S. on January 19 unless the Supreme Court accepts ByteDance's legal challenge against the ban. If the ban is enforced, users won’t be able to download the app but can continue to use it if already installed. However, a lack of updates would make the app less functional over time. Meanwhile, the Chinese app RedNote is gaining popularity as users look for alternatives.
