TikTok Users Look for Alternatives Amid Upcoming ban

Irina Raicu, director, internet ethics, quoted by NBC Bay Area.

In anticipation of a Supreme Court ruling about a ban on the use of TikTok in the United States, many TikTok users are turning to alternative services, such as Red Note and Lemon8, both also owned by Chinese companies.

Director of Internet Ethics, Irina Raicu, contributes, "It's also that some of the people seem to naively think they are going to sort of protest this American government action by switching to another China based app...the law that applies to TikTok also applies to these apps."
