Summary
Analysts predict a potential global ripple effect if the U.S. ban on TikTok remains, with allied nations likely to follow.
Experts cite the ousting of Chinese and Russian tech firms like Huawei and Kaspersky on national security grounds as a blueprint for how the ban could spread worldwide.
TikTok is already restricted on government devices in many countries, and the Five Eyes Alliance nations have issued warnings.
If the ban expands, TikTok risks losing its U.S. user base, curbing revenues and global reach, potentially accelerating its decline.
State run bot farms will eventually come for us here too. Any system that’s open is vulnerable.
