TikTok is one of the most popular and controversial social networks out there. The video app forced Instagram and YouTube to copy this new form of content sharing. That’s how we got Reels and Shorts features in those apps. Meta and Google tried to compete with the short video format TikTok made popular by copying the popular app.
Meanwhile, the US government has been trying to ban TikTok nationwide, and the app already can’t be used on certain government-issued devices. Similar actions have been taken in the EU.
