US should call their bluff. If Tiktok gets banned, people will complain for a little bit until people forget and move on to what's next. Why doesn't an American company make something that's practically identical? People will be all desperate for their 5 second dopamine rush that they will download anything.

India did this and Instagram reels is the main one that benefited. Probably be the same for US if it pulls through on this.
