Too little too late. TikTok is embedded in the culture now. They could've banned it four years ago when all these privacy concerns were first making headlines but now that half the population uses it every day there's no chance in hell.
They could still pass strict privacy laws but the others (Facebook, Google, etc.) don't want that.
Why would TikTok follow them? How can we actually enforce that?
Regular audits I assume
I mean, they could do it. But it would be wildly unpopular among that demo.
That demo would just learn to sideload their apps.
Not on iOS, and CDNs likely will not be allowed to host content from TikTok.
You must have a lot more faith in technical ability of the average TikTok user than I do :) I think they'll move to Instagram Reels.
can't sideload into iphone that easily.
Most people don’t even know what sideloading is, but more importantly it would kill the value of tik tok because the population would be gone and therefor the audience and the money.
