This is my sentiment, is it's TikTok, it will be rebranded as DikDok next, then what? We block one app at a time?

Why not? It’s basically the only app China have managed to make popular in USA. And they’ve had to blow billions on ads to do so.

I do believe it would be best to block all apps owned by the Chinese, but blocking them one by one would work as well, because it’s incredibly difficult and expensive to obtain the userbase that makes the app worth blocking.
