Ask HN: What would a TikTok ban look like?

I expect fb will be the primary beneficiary (stock tip? idk); haven't they already replicated its core functionality? That some technical users can circumvent the ban is irrelevant for something with value derived from network effects.

I see Elon bringing back Vine 2.0. But I am not sure exactly how this would look.

If he cloned the TikTok functionality from 2020, this would be amazing. TikTok today is not the same it was four years ago. Creators cannot go viral like they use to. There is a heavy thumb on the algorithm.

I never understood Twitter's business logic of nuking Vine or how Periscope was so poorly leveraged. It's like they footgunned themselves with a machine gun and kept going to remove all of their toes.
