Looks like TikTok is slowly imploding. I know there's plenty of political implications and a lot of discussion here is on that (which is interesting in its own right), but I wonder if there's opportunity here for a potential competitor.
Between this and streamers such as Ninja talking against the app, I do hope this signals the death knell for tik tok...

Evidence always goes back to that adrian zenz fraud. I don't believe it.
With the overwhelming amount of evidence and testimony regarding human rights violations in Xinjiang, burden of proof is on the CCP to disprove. EDIT: Since HN has blocked me from posting too fast, here is my response to your reply: > It's so absurd! Not a SINGLE MUSLIM MAJORITY COUNTRY is against these supposed Xinjiang camps!

It's so absurd! Not a single muslim majority country is against these supposed Xinjiang camps! Why do you think the USA suddenly cares about muslims?

I'm surprised devices enrolled in their MDM would have EVER allowed Tik Tok in the first place.
Believe me - a lot of companies roll MDM just to be able to remotely wipe the device in case it gets lost. A lot of them do not block apps (or remove them).
What's the probability that the Trump admin/DOJ places a nationwide ban on TikTok and other Chinese apps? Could it actually be enforced, or will the First Amendment override any such ban? What would the ramifications be if a ban were enacted? Retaliation from China against domestic companies? Will this be an inflection point in the escalation of the trade war?

How do you make this leap?
Look at TikTok? Not from US, immediately being attacked by US. If it was from US like FB, Twitter, there would be no discussion about it's security.

What does tiktok have that IG stories or SnapChat does not provide? It appears to me that TikTok is just a perpetuation of exclusivity in Social Networks (the same way kids exited FB when their parents signed up) ...
The way the discovery tab works also created a meta game: Alt TikTok, Deep TikTok, Elite TikTok, ...
The exclusivity aspect is there too, very few users are over 30, but it's not the driver.

Probably not. Gen Z is already addicted to it. They like it more than all other social media apps from what I've seen.

Practically I think it's more diverse content and easier access to other people/fame/glamour for kids than Instagram, Snapchat, or even YouTube/Twitch/etc, since those platforms have been cornered by an existing group of "influencers."
It's probably just a different kind of dopamine hit that kids can't get elsewhere.
