This blog post by Enrique Dans discusses the potential impact of a TikTok ban in the United States, referencing India's 2020 ban as a case study. Dans argues that the impact of such a ban would likely be minimal, citing India's experience where alternative platforms quickly filled the void and users readily adapted.
The comments section features various opinions, ranging from agreement with Dans' assessment to concerns about data privacy and the potential for replacement apps to be similarly problematic. Overall, the discussion centers on the adaptability of users and the market in response to the removal of a single social media platform.
