Here's what would happen if the United States bans TikTok

- More than 170 million Americans use TikTok, but for how much longer? Unless it's spun off from its Chinese parent company, the platform could disappear from app stores by Jan. 19.
Supporters of the federal measure say TikTok poses a national security risk because of the information that could be collected from users by the Chinese-owned company.
"We cannot rule out that the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) could use it," Avril Haines, U.S. Director of National Intelligence, said during a Congressional hearing in March.
But banning TikTok faces a lot of opposition, including from social media influencers and small business owners who say it could cost them.

Boomers complain but are glued to Facebook all day long.
fakebook. all those smiling people on facebook pretending their lives are perfect yet hidden secrets lurk.
@@dennis3351 It's the same with Tik Tok.
@@dennis3351LOL. 😆🤣
Then facebook should be banned.
@@alexpaez5924 bruh, youtube censored my comment.
Even if TikTok gets banned, teens will just use other media apps they had, tho we gonna be seeing lots of TikTok reposts, and for those who had a VPN subscription, they can just change the location, another way to do this is to change your phone location on settings
I mean... TikTok is also gonna be banned in Canada, as I'm hearing more news about TikTok. 💀
@@kootunesscrewyor can use the EU TikTok
They will probably use vpn
Did you know they have the ability to make you can't use vpn to access certain things as well?
What other apps?
All the TikTok users will flood UA-cam shorts 💀
Oml that’s so accurate
Ick
Shorts sucks compared to reels
YT shorts should be gone
@JPMcFancy why
We all know tiktokers will go to UA-cam once Tiktok is banned in the United States
or instagram
Or Snapchat even tho pretty much they don't regularly use it
True but at least YT doesn't tolerate 70 percent of the brainrot that's on TikTok.
@mr.levintouge154 oh definitely a
I agree but you know they'll try anything
Lmao no they won’t. UA-cam shorts is at the bottom of the bin, it’s so cringey and full of brainrot and everyone hates it. They’ll go to Instagram, a normal short form video app
Everyone I know uses TikTok, but I use UA-cam so I don’t really care 😂
Same!
Ig is the best
I use UA-cam also bro
@@Gladiator6 Every tiktoker will go to IG shorts until they get bullied asf 😂
Before there was Tiktok there was Vine
I'm not on Tiktok. Never was.
No one asked bruh🙏😭
@@allanhernandez9348 😂😂😂
Influencers will become bums
I hate TikTok and I wish someone would challenge me on this issue. I see many people zombiefied on TikTok where they can’t comprehend or listen to one another anymore because their attention spam has been reduced. It also encourages many of them to just be negative about everything
This is indicative of all social media not just TikTok. One of the unforeseen or ignored side effects of the always connected world we live in.
@ My experience and others around me during the first time social media came out (Myspace) wasn’t as negative and even when vine came out it wasn’t such a huge impact on us. TikTok actually had a huge negative impact on everybody cause more issues and terrible challenges. Even when the show Jacka$$ first came out it had little impact on us cause we knew better. TikTok has more of an influence on the young youth due to them having access to their phone 24/7.
Pros and cons to evt. Even tho that is true about most ppl esp kids, TikTok is a good advertisement platform. Great way to grow businesses. TikTok brings out creativity in most ppl. U can’t just see the bad side gotta open up and look from both sides.
💯 agree 👍
Wouldn't bother me it's zombifying people relationships it literally takes over people and so much dangerous things for both teens and adults. So many teenagers have tragically died killed themselves, watch dangerous lives post it's getting more toxic than ever for all people a lot of people both teens and adults have made it there life distancing themselves and letting it control their lives.
We have bigger problems yet we are focusing on banning tiktok? I'm more worried about the recent issue of iPhone user not able to text android users that's more valuable information. TikTok is literally an app of entertainment this bogus
TikTok is more of an app for addiction and is what causes so many students to procrastinate on their school work
@@theonepup8022 you could say that about any social media its not just Tiktok, so that is no reason at all to ever ban it. unless were going back to 99 and turning off the computer and phones and going back to pagers?
iPhone users not able to text Android users? Are you referring to the green/blue text bubble thing?
Idk if you are living under a rock or something but TikTok is a big issue. People are addicted to it to the point where any free second they get they go straight to their phone and open TikTok. It’s detrimental to people’s mental health to be on TikTok constantly. It’s a distraction at school. Kids aren’t allowed to use their phone at school, yet I look around the class and at any given time at least half the class has their phone out anyways. Kids risk getting in trouble because TikTok is so addictive. Not to mention that people take everything at face value. There is so much misinformation out there. And people stay up late at night on TikTok. They don’t get enough sleep. Sleep is very important to be able to think properly.
@@Firefoxes85 and i currently sit at a table in art class with 5 people and every single time when we’re should post to be working on an activity they’d just be on their cell phones browsing social media (usually tiktok) and i absolutely hate sitting them especially since they act very immature yet they’re in high school but they act like elementary boys
PEOPLE WILL GO ABSOLUTELY INSANE ESPECIALLY “INFLUENCERS “ it will force them to get a REAL job
Not really... You still other platforms out there. Tiktok was just the easiest.
They'll just go back to snapchat
Let them who cares l hate titok suck my a$$ titok f titol
@@mysteriouslady9447less talent required to go viral on tiktok
Ban it all
There are other platforms, its not the end if it gets banned 🙄
Who cares tired of seeing these dumb ahh dances
Me too bro
Dancing on TikTok died like 3 years ago 😭
Same and I don’t even use it
@@mykellmiller not just dances, but stupid challenges that can pose a risk to their lives as well some challenges that could lend themselves to jail
I just want capcut back
That would be great, that’s what this world needs is less social media. The negatives caused from social media, such as TikTok far exceeded positives. As far as people that rely on TikTok financially, time to get out there into the real world and get a real job. Society is in shambles and one less social media platform is one step closer to us being the greatness we once were.
Stfu old man
Nothing wrong with social media
The "Greatness that society was ?" When and how was it great ?
Nobody is going to those tired bum ass jobs, where you work your entire life just to die by the time you can retire. Society is in shambles because ppl like you want to dictate other ppl lives instead of just living your own life!
Tik Tok rot is real folks.
Please tell us how a software can rot.
😂😂😂😂🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
@@davidwong5197 You are an example of it. "Tiktok rot" as the OP calls it, is more of an insult to tiktok's users than the app itself.
1:13 If your small business relies on a Chinese app maybe you should have already had a backup plan.
1:18 Entertainment is subjective. It's more of a cancer. And if you're getting educated on tiktok that's quite depressing.
1:26 You don't really lose economic anything here aside from the people utilizing the app to make money. We don't need "influencers," we need people doing real jobs. Influencing is a fantasy job.
App is garbage
Honestly other social media should try to support this as much as possible because that means all this people will come to places like here.
Sadly, even though I heavily dislike TikTok, I’m not happy about its ban since it likely will support UA-cam Shorts, which I hate even more as they won’t get out of my reccomended.
Oh gosh you’re right 😢
Another One in the social media grave
Vine 2012-2017
Omegle 2009-2023
TikTok 2016-2025
It happened to them all eventually. I remember when myspace was big or back in the day it was irc which was known as internet relay chat it was newsgroups then came along yahoo and it's yahoo chat lobbies aol also had one back in 95 It fizzled out and so with others.
ATTENTION FOR UA-camRS AND ANTI TIK TOKERS, DON'T LET THOSE TIK TOKERS GO TO UA-cam, remember that Is 2025 and UA-cam will be 20 years old
I only recently use TikTok and my mom suggested Instagram cause I post art comics, so super wasy thing.
Also there is no such thing as online privacy and data protection. We gotta stop pretending it exists.
Those TikTokers will most likely be flipping burgers after it gets banned.
Wrong.
Or back to walmart stocking the freezer, which there's nothing wrong with that. I used to work there several years ago myself & yeah it can get hectic dealing with customers & whatnot but at the end of the day, a job is a job.
That doesn't sound like a bad job... Right?
@@RightBoyKA-POW not if ur getting paid $17 an hour in some states.
@@jjmcg9184 Fair enough.
Ban it
Meta stole our data each day
Too bad. Everyone knew TikTok was a security risk.
Tell all the influencers to go influence by getting a job
IQ's jump 10 percent overnight.
People are forgetting that UA-cam shorts exist which is no different than TikTok.
Doesn't matter to me. I never had any use for it.
Okay?
This is how our personal freedoms die, through apathy.
Me too bro
@@beanpasteposts nigga it's a social media app, not your childhood dog, you feeling empathy for an APP that is used by another government to influence you? Why don't you try being logical for once
Ticktock is better at allowing free speech than UA-cam
I hope these anti-tiktok activists in the comments realize that if it does get banned then all these “tiktok people” will simply flock to youtube along with their culture.
At least over here there is no begging or stupid match
@@QuinnNyra -at least not yet
No they won’t most people on TikTok already despise yt shorts and they’d probably head to ig reels
At least UA-cam know how to censor and demonitized
I have a small business that grew during the pandemic on TikTok, although I’ve expanded to other social media apps and stores, TikTok has always been my main shopping portal. So disappointing it’s come to this.
UA-cam is better anyway. Short form brainrot content is making people stupid.
Maybe TikTok Shop should just get its own website and leave the app
For a person that's from generation z AKA generation zombie I am actually glad that they are banning tick tock here in the United States and making it illegal, UA-cam is one thing because of music, education, wrestling, boxing, and helpful life tips, etc, but Twitter, Facebook ,Instagram, tick tock is a whole new ball game and I wish that was never made.
Attention spans increase 2 seconds on a national average. Kids are 5% more tolerable in schools. Lethal challenges fall by a whopping 75%. Stupid dances in department stores nearly cease to exist.
These people will actually need to get a job and not spew their sensationalist click bait-y opinions
hahah you must forgot about youtube, instagram & facebook
This is no different than vine going down anyways.
It’s funny how TikTok doesn’t want to sell, but they don’t want to be banned in the US. Just sell TikTok and make a lot of money, or be banned and lose.
At the end of the day. They won't have to. Bytedance is already owned by non-Chinese. Jeff Yaz is not Chinese and neither are Black Rock, Walmart, Oracle or UAE. The board is all American. The only Chinese owners are Singaporean and they own 20%. Tiktok even offer US to control the data.
The only way it will be sold is if someone got greased.
@@davidwong5197china and Singapore are two different countries man 😂
@@Firefoxes85 Exactly. Tiktok HQ is only located in China. It is not Chinese owned. Remember the hearing, " but senator I'm Singaporean."
@@davidwong5197yeah yeah
The American Government is ran by idiot's. In the last court case it was proven. they're thinking it's chinese owned and be a threat to personal info. Tiktok is OWNED by singaporean people. NOT chinese people. @@davidwong5197
Anybody who has a tiktok account should start cross platform posting now. Get out TikTok and move your stuff to another short platform or something else. We can't allow China to control what our kids see in this way.
I'm predicting that ByteDance would probably sell TikTok the day before it gets banned in the US.
They won't.
I can’t believe everybody’s making the big deal. It really it’s not gonna work everybody’s gonna end up getting a VPN.
Banned 🚫 tikTok 2025
Myspace is making a comeback
Everything people are doing on TikTok they could just as easily do on Instagram or UA-cam, and probably other apps I don’t even know about. They can ask their audience to follow them on the other platforms before the take down. Apps and websites have been dying for decades and yet content still gets uploaded and shared somewhere.
So why didn;t they?
@ probably because tiktok was trendier with kids
Instagram and UA-cam's interface and algorithms are terrible. TikTok is much easier to use, and their algorithms are balanced.
@ reports came out showing TikTok’s algorithm had been proven to suppress posts by creators considered “ugly, poor, or disabled, chubby or obese with “ugly facial looks … like too many wrinkles … or facial deformities … and other disabilities” and that’s just one of the less scary things that has been revealed about how it operates. You can look up the articles on research yourself.
They should go to twitch
GOD I hope this gets banned. This app's done WAY more harm than good over the years with all the BS that came from it, especially within th past few years with all those challenges and the like. It would really be better for MANY of us if it was banned completely.
Screw all these fools trying to say otherwise about brain rot causing TRASH!😤
I agree
@@GunsAndAmmo3 ur a retard obv tiktok fried ur brain alr
Facts bro
@@GunsAndAmmo3 I'm twenty eight, fool! 😒
@keijijohnson9754 ok
2:15“tiktok, time is ticking” what a corny verse 😂
I hope they do ban this stupid app.
other countries could say the exact same thing about Facebook, Instagram and other apps if they wanted to
Maybe they will make their web version better and make a pwa with upload and record options.
Ban it next TEMU!!!!!
Here is what would happen, we would have no more woke Nonsense on our screens anymore, Result.
Have you ever used TikTok? There are so many right wing creators.
huh? you don't have to use the app, but don't ruin it for the rest of your countrymen.
Listen, Jack, I never take you people as actually having an actual brain in your pathetic existence, but good god are you dumb…
Sh*tok is a**
I feel like you would have to ban ALL social media (especially Reddit and Twitter) for that to actually happen
Americans rather America fall than give up social media. smh
Goodbye TikTok challenges
Hello Bluesky challenges
Bluesky will be a ghosttown by the end of the year, it's a liberal echochamber 💀💀
Make America great again..Americans need to start picking up those books instead of doing stupid crap on TikTok….that will be a win for America!!!
If it's banned, that's when you download a vpn in set your location in a country that still has tiktok, and you can update the app
People who are crying and moaning about losing TikTok because they are saying that thats going to take away their businesses. They're entertainment etc...
obviously, don't get online much to realize that there are countless other similar social media sites and sources.
WHAT A SHAME ALL THOSE INFLUENCERS WILL HAVE TO GO OUT AND GET A REAL JOB OR BE ON THE STREET HOMELESS WHAT A CATASTROPHE
In China, Netflix, Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, LinkedIn and Google are banned.😅
Our youth will find a new platform to consume their entire beings and lives
Yeah cause influencers always make the best choices
Lol
Nah they are making sure oF and youtube stands more by erasing one competitor
And please take away the Facebook too.
Im not from the US but i would be very nervous about the drones in New Jersey. If it is from Chinese origin spying on people so obviously i would say ban it asap! People must get other means of income via instagram or Fb or UA-cam. The risk is too high
Tiktok isnt owned by a chinese company its singapore since like 2021
@@GunsAndAmmo3 There is a good reason why the people in office decide and not you. If your argument was even remotely good, tiktok would've used it in court, but they didn't, because it's a dumbass argument.
I disagree with this prediction. TikTok could make a change in their application to allow hot updates (updates that happen within the app without needing to download a new version from the app stores). For Android users, they could still download the APK and install it on their devices, as well.
But users thinking that tiktok is a source of education is just a laughable premise.
it’s the source of information for the dumb people. It’s where they get all their knowledge. Duh 😂
It got banned a few hours ago😔⭐💜
children will be able to remember a full sentence? good shit :D
There would be less stupidity that's for sure
I honestly havent been on TikTok much but I am a writer and my writer community uses it as Book TOK, and I just started using it to try and get in this stuff. I don't want it banned. I hate Hate Hate Facebook and dont ever want to go back to it. So Id rather just use TikTok or twitter or UA-cam but TikTok shouldnt be banned.
*Tiktok strangely never gave my channel a chance!* if it wasn't for UA-cam I would not be on the internet at all.
About time. Will Facebook be next?
27 BILLION DOLLARS are made BY AMERICANS on TikTok
SOCIETY WILL BE BETTER 😎
It's unhealthy. Thank God I'm so happy they took tik Tok off
There's easy ways to get around this by getting updates through different websites😂
Wish my country would ban it. It's nonsense.
TikTok means that CCP doesn't have to fly balloons over the USA.
So other companies can sell people's info and personal data for 20 billion dollars but y'all blame tiktok
No more tik Tok moving forward no more tik Tok. Let. It go. We are over it
The world keeps turning
Hope it gets banned. Hopefully it brings people to face reality.
At this point get rid of it
National security vs a damn entertainment app?
Sad it’s even an issue smh
Just ban the app and do a big favor for ppl to go back to work
most my friends are on tiktok😞 I hope the ban doesn't go through
Then get them to get onto other platforms, I hope the ban goes through.
I hope it doesnt get banned actually. I do use it much as i used to, but i enjoyed some of the entertaininh content, like fursuit making, furries, animation cobcepts, fnaf, thats what i usually watch tgere, and i love those tony crynight edits too.
Not really there for politics.
And for those who dont like tiktok, then donr download it, but let other people have it if they want to have it.
Hope it goes through 🙏🏽
@Nyiissa AHAH IT DIDNT
@Nyiissa I hope it’s not js a 90 day extension and stays forever
What happens if TikTok is banned? My son will lose his mind.
just because its banned it doesnt mean you cant use it as a consumer. Either download it joe to keep it or get the APK afterwards
The moronic users of the app will be crying in the street and talking to their phone.
Nothing will happen if it's banned
welcome to the party! in my third world country everything is banned too. due to national security issues obviously!
So, any Chinese company that is as competitive or more competitive than an American company would be (1) national security threat or (2) economy destroyer.
Meanwhile, American companies like McDonalds and KFC and Starbucks are allowed to flourish in China.
I don't think this is about national security. That's just BS.
National security is being used as a cover, man.
The real reason is economic competition.
American CEOs don't want competition because competition means less profits for them. So, if they can't make a competitive product, then they will use the government to shoot down at foreign competition just so they can develop at their own pace rather than being pushed to compete with China.
Garlic just got banned because of ... national security. Not kidding, bill just passed in the house. US is a laughing stock
@America4933 Not the same. FB and Instagram refused to put servers in China. Tiktok servers are in TX run by Oracle. learn the fact dude. Microsoft, steam and Apple are in China cuz their servers are in China
@America4933Are you trying to say you support censorship like the chinese has done?
@America4933 yeah but they don't claim to have freedom in their country!
STOP DEFENDING TIKTOK U FREAK!!!!!!!!!
IT IS NO BANNED NOW🎧😭😭😭😭
Everyone will just watch youtube shorts.
And if they use tiktok any other way. Make them pay a fine take them to jail
Don’t knock on the banner at the end of January
Dont ban tiktok
Do ban tiktok
Dont ban tiktok
Please don’t ban TikTok.
Everyone just needs to move to UA-cam if they have a problem with tiktok disappearing
And on top of that what proof do they have that this platform has been a security risk who said it was how
UA-cam shorts, Instagram reels
I would throw a party
