00:00If you're on TikTok, listen up. Your app is about to change. TikTok is potentially being
00:04replaced by M2, and it's happening fast. In April 2024, the U.S. passed a law targeting TikTok,
00:10demanding ByteDance sell its U.S. operations or face a ban. The Supreme Court upheld this law,
00:15making the ban official, unless ByteDance complies. ByteDance is now trying to sell
00:19its U.S. TikTok business, but the deal is complicated. Key dates, September 5th, 2025,
00:24TikTok disappears from U.S. app stores. March 2026, TikTok could be fully shut down in America.
00:30M2 is a U.S. only app hosted on American servers managed by Oracle with stricter privacy. Unlike
00:36TikTok, you'll need to rebuild your audience from scratch. M2 will have stricter age verification,
00:4216 and up only, and more transparent algorithms. Key differences, TikTok is owned by ByteDance in
00:47China, while M2 is U.S. based. TikTok uses mixed servers, but M2 will use only Oracle-managed
00:54U.S. servers. No follower transfer. You'll have to start over. It's U.S. only, and your TikTok
00:59content won't automatically move over. Creators are worried about losing their community. Online,
01:05people are already joking about the name M2. Tech analysts question, is M2 a real fresh start or
01:11just a rebrand? FAQ. TikTok is not banned right now. You can use both TikTok and M2 from September
01:162025 until March 2026. Your followers won't transfer. M2 is strictly for American users. Here's what you
01:23should do. First, back up your TikToks. Second, claim your M2 username as soon as the app launches.
01:30Third, promote your switch everywhere. Finally, build your community outside of these apps.
01:34The clock is ticking. Get ready for M2 now.
