Maybe Telegram? It has 500 million monthly active users.

Sure, they also have Yandex and VK and some other stuff but even if they are successful almost none of it is groundbreaking or leading whole industries ahead. If TikTok was Russian, I would have said that they significantly improved content discovery and content consumption maybe.

However, this does show that if all Meta and Google is banned, they will be fine. Is it going to be the same for other stuff though? Like the IKEA stuff? Like civil aviation?
