US should call their bluff. If Tiktok gets banned, people will complain for a little bit until people forget and move on to what's next. Why doesn't an American company make something that's practically identical? People will be all desperate for their 5 second dopamine rush that they will download anything.

YouTube and Instagram already have identical features. Most US creators who post on Tik Tok also use those platforms already
