Since the TikTok ban, a viral video featuring a mom urging her scared child to sneak candy into the movies has captured the attention of many.
As TikTok faces ongoing restrictions and its fate in the US hangs in the air, users have found alternative ways to share content, and many are turning to other social media platforms to keep the TikTok spirit alive. One user commented:
“We’ve resorted to recycling TikTok videos.”
"This from TikTok 🥺😂," remarked another Insta user.
A comment read:
""I remember tik tok like it was yesterday 😩😂"
One user noted:
"@momoalex15 don't worry guys, we'll be posting tiktok videos here for you from time to time😅"
"Not now shaderoom im still mourning 😩," wrote another user.
Some other comments remembering TikTok read:
"Saw this on tiktok yesterday smh."
"TikTok was so young…. 🪦 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢"
Users expressed how, with TikTok’s disappearance, people are revisiting and resharing old, memorable clips on other platforms. The video itself showcases a humorous moment between a mom and her child, where the mom encourages her child to sneak candy into the movie theater, a relatable situation many viewers find amusing.
Why are ByteDance-owned apps like TikTok facing a ban?
ByteDance apps, including TikTok, are facing bans in several countries due to concerns over national security and data privacy. The Chinese-owned app, ByteDance, had come under scrutiny from lawmakers and government officials who feared that sensitive data collected from U.S. users could be accessed by the Chinese government, either through direct interference or under China's data security laws.
Other apps facing a ban include CapCut, Lemon8, Gauth, Hypic, Lark, and Tokopedia. A message displayed to users trying to access TikTok in the U.S. reads:
"A law banning TikTok has been enacted in the US. Unfortunately, this means you can't use TikTok for now. We are fortunate that President Trump has indicated that he will work with us on a solution to reinstate TikTok once he takes office. Please stay tuned!"

The app, which has 170 million American users, is now inaccessible. In an NBC News interview on Saturday, Trump mentioned he was considering granting TikTok a 90-day extension to allow it to keep operating.
Trump added that if such an extension were to be granted, it would likely be announced on Monday, the day of his presidential inauguration. TikTok's CEO, Shou Chew, is expected to attend Trump's inauguration and will be seated in a prime location, reported Al Jazeera.
