With a TikTok Ban Looming, Users Flee to Chinese App ‘Red Note’ (www.wired.com)

American Tiktok users would rather use ACTUAL Chinese spyware app than Meta. XiaoHongShu (meaning "Little Red Book") and ChatGPT (for translating the Mandarin only app) are currently #1 and #2 on the App store.

It would be funny if tiktok just put out a transfer request to everyone's accounts and then make a new company called toktik and all content gets transferred with any account that opts in. Then the government has to go through the whole process to shut down toktik again.

There’s no process to go through again. The law is in place now. It didn’t Target TikTok specifically by name. It’s based on foreign company ownership and number of US users. I don’t know the specifics though
