How will the restrictions on Tiktok and Wechat in the USA. cause a growth of VPN? I don't catch your reasons for the statement. In China, there are strict control and management from Chinese governments on local Internet but in the USA. things are not like that. TikTok or Wechat is only one of app, even big ones but I don't think they change anything on the Internent globally.
There are news that Microsoft, Twitter plans to buy TikTok.
I guess, his point is about the use of Tiktok, Wechat and other application or website that are banned on certain countries which can be cause of growth of VPN but I too think that it won't even matter as the majority of the users of VPN use it for additional protection and safe browsing. US doesn't even use WeChat as it doesn't provide the same features as China uses it. US have other apps that has the same use of WeChat for transaction and communication. Tiktok may have influence US and even provided some people sponsorship for their content but it won't matter as those sponsors will back out too due to the banning.
I want to say that a decentralized VPN will be in demand in any case !
This is only one of the reasons . I myself use it on my Android smartphone and I must say that it is quite convenient
It's quite a unique idea to involved cryptocurrency for a decentralized VPN but I don't really see that it will be as in demand as there are a lot of major VPN companies that are already out there.
these companies are centralized and can be pressured by the government . But in this case everything is different and it is a completely different level
