Singapore's Likee Is an Unlikely Winner of the TikTok Ban

Quick Summary:

After a US law temporarily forced Americans to find a new home for their short-video habit, TikTok clone Likee saw a surge in usage.

About 63 percent of US teens and a third of US adults use TikTok, according to Pew Research Center.

TikTok came back online in the US on Sunday after president-elect Donald Trump promised to provide a temporary reprieve of the new law when he took power the following day.
