The Next Killer App from Bytedance, Americans Are Mostly OK with a TikTok Ban and Much More

• This week's episode of the Creator Feed Renee Teeley and Jim Louderback discuss the rise of Lemon8, a new video and photo-sharing social media platform from Bytedance that has been described as a blend of Instagram and Pinterest. We also talk about Pew Research's latest study on TikTok, which found that only 22% of Americans oppose a TikTok ban. We also explore the UK's recent fine of TikTok for violating data privacy rules for kids under 13, and Wired's latest article on the failure of live-streamed shopping in the West. Finally, we talk about Whaler's new venture studio, Moby Ventures, which will help creators build businesses.
