TikTok's aggressive expansion into e-commerce and long-form video is disrupting the social media landscape, forcing incumbents like YouTube and Instagram to launch new products. The platform's significant investments in becoming a shopping destination are paying off, despite concerns about its influence on US news consumption and potential political intervention. In a landmark legal victory, a federal judge blocked Montana's attempt to ban TikTok, citing free speech rights and overstepping state power. This ruling protects the rights of its 300,000 users and sets a precedent for similar cases.
