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.

State media hailed RedNote's success among American "TikTok refugees" as a repudiation of U.S. government "demonizing" of China's development.

Perplexity, an artificial intelligence search engine startup, has bid to merge with TikTok U.S. so the platform can avoid being banned in the country.

A looming ban on TikTok set to take effect on Sunday presents a multibillion-dollar headache for app store operators Apple and Google.

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.

After years of rejecting the idea of a sale of TikTok’s US assets to an American buyer in order to avert a ban, China and ByteDance may have found an owner they could live with: Elon Musk.

Officials at TikTok said they could not be expected to comment on pure fiction when asked about rumors China was looking into having Elon Musk acquire the social media platform.

Backers of China's Xiaohongshu are looking to sell a part of their stake to the likes of Tencent , among others, in a deal that could value the TikTok-rival at at least $20 billion, Bloomberg News reported on Thursday.

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.

President-elect Donald Trump says he "most likely" will give TikTok 90 more days to work out a deal that would allow the popular video-sharing platform to avoid a U.S. ban, NBC News reports.
