The possibility of the popular social media application TikTok being banned in the USA has mobilized social media users.
The migration started days before the decision hearing on January 19. The address for those who left TikTok is Rednote, another China-based social media application.
The application gained more than 700 thousand users in just 2 days. Rednote’s download rate in the USA has doubled.
Unlike other China-based applications, Rednote uses a single version. In other words, there are no different applications for China and countries other than China. This is a rare situation for companies that comply with the law.
TikTok’s fate in the USA will be determined on Sunday. The app will either be sold to a US company or banned on the grounds that it is a national security threat.
The number of monthly active users of TikTok reaches 1 billion 600 million.
