The United States Supreme Court upheld the nationwide TikTok ban on Friday morning as the deadline for Chinese company ByteDance to sell the vastly popular video app approaches on Sunday.

Obviously there’s a massive dose of irony in the United States banning China-backed TikTok only for its users to flock to another app whose name translates to “Little Red Book“. But that migration has serious real world consequences beyond Google search spikes for Mao’s handbook in the United States.
According to CNBC, Duolingo’s shares rose seven percent on Thursday ahead of the Supreme Court’s decision as RedNote continues to climb up the app store charts.
