The same as what happened when vine shut down.

Nobody in Lemmy cares until they come for Lemmy I guess
Um, actually that's one perk of federation. It's much harder to take down networks that are run on dozens or hundreds of servers across the globe... In other words, we already solved this problem, at least in large part.
If you base your livelihood on a platform owned by a private company, you're not really justified if you complain about it being changed or blocked.
Lemmy users aren't making money from it, so your argument is irrelevant.
Back to Vine.
They'll move to TokTik by DanceByte by the week's end.
YouTube shorts are already a thing.
Once they get an algorithm that isn't absolute shit, bam we'll be good
Same thing that happened to the Chinese creators on Youtube despite it being banned in China, I presume.
Switch to ig reels or yt shorts
They will disappear
They will cease to exist
I'm excited to find out!
I don't know why Amazon hasn't bought TikTok yet.
Lots of data, access to the Chinese market, a social media app under their wing, and an aligned work culture. Alongside the gains for ads, moving their shit to AWS, and retail gains, it seems like a better idea than throwing money into the AI fire.
Because its not for sale
Wouldn't be surprised if there was an exceptionally well funded US startup that makes a debut before TikTok is blocked if they don't sell. TikTok has to weigh the possibility that they can't compete if they don't exist.
I doubt it. USA is just one one country, although large. Tik Tok will do fine without it.
Everything is for sale when you are a $1T+ company. That's why Amazon has the likes of Blink, Ring, Alexa, Anthropic, etc.
Not when there are national politics involved
That's...exactly why you would get involved?
TikTok might lose out on revenue. Why not sell your US arm for lots of money?
This is literally one of the most widely talked-about options regarding the ban of TikTok...
They refused to entertain offers. 1T dollars seems mighty, but TikTok is a multi-year if not multi-decade data collection hub. That data is on the youth of America and their trajectories.
Thatβs priceless to the power hungry. Itβs not just money, itβs control.

that's why their banning it; they can't control it in the way they want
They'll live happily ever after in their TikTok houses.
