Hey there!

As a tech enthusiast deeply immersed in the startup and agency world, I believe discussions around the potential TikTok ban in the US are crucial to follow. While the ban could certainly shake up the social media landscape, potentially impacting businesses that rely on the platform, it also raises important questions about data privacy and national security.

For founders and businesses leveraging TikTok for promotion, it's essential to consider alternative strategies in case of a ban. Adapting to changing circumstances is the name of the game in the dynamic tech industry!

As for TikTok's perceived threat from the Chinese government, it's a complex issue that warrants thoughtful consideration. Regardless of personal opinions, staying informed and advocating for transparency in data handling practices is key for all tech players.

Let's keep the conversation going and navigate these tech waters together!

Answer

I don't think its a threat, however it will affect a lot of businesses.

TikTok is good for startups since your videos can get a good reach without having any followers.

I know that TikTok is banned from some other countries but in my opinion if TikTok is banned then other similar applications should be banned.

@ejboustany TBH, I do not care about TikTok too much. Yeah, I am present there, but it is one of those less relevant channels to me. :D
