TikTok has returned for US users after a brief shutdown. If it goes away for good, these rival apps can help you get your fix of short-form video.

Meta’s Instagram and Google’s YouTube are getting ready to welcome TikTok users, as the Supreme Court upheld a law that effectively bans the Chinese-owned app from the United States.

Ultimately, the best alternative for a former TikTok user will depend on their individual preferences and the type of content they enjoy creating and consuming. The TikTok ban presents a significant financial challenge for many creators.

But the law’s seeming fragility, with an incoming president already scheming to unravel it, highlights something else just as clearly: How few tools American leaders have available to address the risks of online content.
