A possible ban of TikTok is just days away.
TikTok could be banned on Jan. 19 due to a law that forces the platform to cut ties with its China-based parent company ByteDance or shut down its U.S. operation.
The Supreme Court heard oral arguments last week in a legal challenge to the statute and the apps fate could be in their hands.
Supporters of the ban argue the app poses national securtiy risks due to its connection with China, while opposers to the ban say it violates free speech.
With more than 170-million users in the U.S., many have begun to look at alternative apps like Chinese app Xiaohongshu or "RedNote."
People on the Downtown Gainesville Square gave their thoughts on the potential ban.
