US businesses that try to compete with big tech don't stand a chance no matter how innovative because they'll either be bought and killed, or killed/suppressed through some illegal business practices from big tech that government won't or can't stop.
When an innovative foreign company comes in that Facebook/Google/Microsoft/Apple/Amazon/etc can't buy, the government ends up killing it.
Optimistically, this will create an opportunity for a new business to come in and fill the void left by TikTok's departure. Realistically, that's going to all get gobbled up by a big tech company in the end.
