The recently proposed legislation targeting TikTok explicitly states that no ByteDance app is exempt. The act’s objective is to protect U.S. national security from threats posed by foreign-controlled apps like TikTok, its successors, or any other service created by ByteDance or its subsidiaries.
Amidst TikTok’s challenges, other social platforms are seizing the opportunity to compete. Meta has introduced “Edits,” a video editing app aiming to rival ByteDance’s CapCut, while Bluesky, a competitor to X, has rolled out a custom feed tailored for vertical video content.
