    You can’t copy something that easy to imitate. You could say Tiktok copied Vine first.

      tiktok has a more modern format and algorithm than instagram or facebook, and it won’t be able to be easily copied. the usa is mad that a communist country somehow made a better app than them and now wanna cry privacy lol, see Cambridge Analytica

      @Swole Papi Facebook whilst they harvest your data to optimise ads, are no where as sinister as what Tik Toks Chinese parent ByteDance could do with your information especially around surveillance. I think many will migrate over swiftly.

    Does Instagram infringe copy right?

    • Micro Tasker

      August 6, 2020 at 7:07 am

      If tiktock has no right to do business in the US, which might be the case, it wouldn’t matter. That is the bet that Instagram is hedging here.
