The fate of TikTok seems to be sealed for the moment. The Biden administration firmly announced the social media giant would have to look to the Trump administration for help after tomorrow’s ban likely will see the app go dark.

If lawmakers continue to prioritize politically expedient anti-China bans, then they will fail to convince the public they are acting in its best interests.

ByteDance, TikTok’s parent company, is required to sell the app to a U.S.-based buyer or face a nationwide ban.

The app’s availability in the U.S. has been thrown into jeopardy over data privacy and national security concerns.

The app started halting service Saturday night for 170 million users in its most important market.

RedNote, known as Xiaohongshu in China, is owned by a Shanghai-based company and raises similar questions as TikTok.

This looming TikTok ban has over 170 million US TikTok users (who have named themselves "TikTok Refugees") scrambling for a replacement app. And that's what these users have seemingly found in Xiaohongshu or RedNote — a Chinese-owned social media app that has already risen to #1 on the US App Store.

Trump has said he has a "warm spot" for the app, a distinct change of heart after his first administration first called for a ban on TikTok.

Analysts are predicting that a recent surge of Americans flocking to the Chinese social media platform RedNote - also known as Xiaohongshu - could be short-lived, as users soon find its content regulations differ sharply from those on TikTok US.

Chinese President Xi Jinping and U.S. President-elect Donald Trump held their first phone talks in four years Friday. According to Trump, he spoke with Xi about TikTok, just hours before the Supreme upheld a law set to ban the social media platform in the United States in less than 48 hours.

TikTok went dark for users across the U.S. late Saturday as the app notified users of a ban that went into effect just days before President-elect Trump's inauguration.
