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.
You mean like vine? Twitter bought it and killed it. The founder moved on to launch Byte https://www.byte.co/

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 a flawed stance to have on this. There are plenty of popular apps used in the US from other countries. Spotify immediately comes to mind, and they're not controlled by the CCP, an added bonus.

Wouldn't be surprised if Google, Facebook, or Microsoft suddenly come out with a competing app. Didn't google have one that they shut down recently?
What's the security/privacy vulnerability that would allow TikTok access to sensitive info from email?

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).
Can one do this as an individual as well?
