      In a statement issued by Second Dinner, the studio behind Snap, the game getting caught in the net of the TikTok shutdown was a complete surprise. But since the game is published by Nuverse, a subsidiary of ByteDance, the app was held to the same complicated standards as TikTok. Second Dinner was quick to promise that Snap “isn’t going anywhere.”

      Also interesting that RedNote isn’t among this list.

      They have to give 1 year notice to ban something. The apps that got banned are all subsidiaries of ByteDance, the company that owns TikTok.
