Part 2/4:
First, major app stores, such as Google Play and the Apple App Store, will likely restrict new downloads and software updates for TikTok. This means that while existing users might still retain access to the app initially, over time, it could become increasingly glitchy and difficult to use as updates cease.
Second, internet companies facilitating TikTok’s infrastructure might be compelled to stop storing user data related to the app. In such a scenario, many features would become inoperable; the inability to access an updated feed would drastically alter the user experience, and posting content could become nearly impossible.
