  • With an American TikTok ban threatening the app, users and creators reflect on what it did for internet culture - and what their online worlds might look like without it.

The article from BBC Future titled "What dies with TikTok?" explores the potential cultural and societal impacts if TikTok were to disappear. It discusses how TikTok has become a significant platform for cultural exchange, creativity, and community building, especially among younger generations. The piece highlights the unique features of TikTok, like its algorithm-driven content discovery, which has democratized content creation and consumption, allowing niche communities to thrive. It also examines the implications of losing such a platform, including the loss of a space for marginalized voices, the end of certain internet subcultures, and the potential shift in how digital content is created and shared. The article reflects on the ephemeral nature of digital platforms and what it means for digital heritage, questioning what aspects of culture, humor, and community might vanish if TikTok were to cease to exist.
