On 19th January,the Tiktok Ban was officially introduced,causing an uproar among many people.This is a big decision because Toktok has a huge number of users and usage in the United States.Tiktok has become the main tool used by people for daily entertainment.On the surface,it may just be disabling a piece of software,but there may be deeper consequences hidden behind it.
First of all,Tiktok is an important information exchange platform,so it contains a lot of promotion.A direct ban on Tiktok will have the most direct impact on these promotional companies or individuals.It forces them to move platforms and lose part of their income on Tiktok,so it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among these entrepreneurs.
Secondly,it also has a great influence on other countries.For other countries,a domino effect is probably the best way to describe them,especially countries that have good relations with the United States.They may follow in the footsteps of the United States so they can further assess security risks to protect citizens’ privacy and data.”This is a question for every country.”said Chong Ja Ian,associate professor of political science at the National University of Singapore.
Third,the Ban on Tiktok will inevitably lead to the rapid development of other platforms similar to it,like Instagram, Youtube,X and so on.They were originally competing with Tiktok.It is not difficult to imagine that if Tiktok is canceled,users will flow to other software in large numbers,making the developers of other software the biggest beneficiaries of the Tiktok Ban.This situation is very likely to happen.
All in all,these are good and bad aspects of the Tiktok Ban,some people benefit and some people suffer.The results it caused cannot be underestimated.
