The TikTok logo and flag of the United States are seen on screens on January 18, 2025 in Hong Kong, China. As the impending TikTok ban looms, users are increasingly migrating to alternative platforms like Xiaohongshu, driven by concerns over data privacy and the potential shutdown of their favorite app. This shift reflects a broader trend where users seek platforms that offer similar engagement without the uncertainty surrounding TikTok's future in the U.S., especially as legal battles and political pressures mount ahead of the January 19 deadline for compliance or a ban. Will Microsoft buy TikTok? Trump says talks are happening.
