Analysts have suggested it is "just matter of time" until the US ban on TikTok spreads.

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.

    Enough folks are here for me. In fact, I’d argue that this is right about the right size, and that if we get that much bigger, it will become a mess like anything else.

    I’ve spoken about it with some others, and we think that part of the problem with major sites like reddit is the scale itself.

    That at a certain point, no amount of modding tools can save you from the flood of users doing things you have to moderate.

    It’s why I think moderation needs to be a paid position (a la MetaFilter), and a site needs to have a max userbase tailored to how many mods they have available.

    When you add more users, you’re actually exponentially increasing user interactions. Most of the time, you’re actually moderating interactions between users than actual individual users, so you must add moderators exponentially as your userbase grows because the potential connections between users are growing exponentially compared to the number of users.
