Yes. No doubt the much vaunted algorithm will make their way to competitors, through digital fencers.

  The algorithm is almost useless without the vast number of creators they have who are interested in creating mostly for tiktok

  The algorithmic black market. The only place to get the really primo data structures.

Lol no. The company makes billions of dollars and is funded by the Chinese government. TikTok is here to stay

It's only the source code. Who cares?

  Yeah if this was user data, different story. They should just open source the entire backend code.

    This looks like user data: https://twitter.com/AggressiveCurl/status/1566173696842256384 https://twitter.com/AggressiveCurl/status/156617369684225638...

  If it proves wrongdoing/illegal data collection or government-sponsored manipulation, it might be the trigger for widespread bans.

Nah, TikTok is eating Instagram. They’re not going anywhere but up

  Agreed. Instagram is dreadful right now. Every third post in as an Ad. The content being posted is all spammy ads. No one that I know IRL posts anything at all anymore. It's all dark social messaging and private shared iOS Photos albums!

It is the beginning of the end. Despite the denial here. Billion dollar fines and lawsuit of user data incoming.

The only real existential threat TikTok faces (in the US) is the US government. I think as we get closer and closer to war (either cold or hot) with the Chinese that services like alibaba and tiktok won't stand up to scrutiny and be blanket banned. It's pretty clear that the CCP wholly controls them and is hoovering up the data on American citizens. I think the only reason it's on the back burner right now is all the Trump stuff stealing the headlines.
