With Social Media Shifting, It's Time to Build Your Food & Beverage Presence on a Platform That Won’t Disappear Overnight

By the One Bite Foodie Blog Staff

If you’ve been paying attention, you know TikTok has been in the hot seat for a while. In just the past few months, the platform has been banned, reinstated, and granted a temporary extension—leaving content creators, food reviewers, and restaurants wondering: What’s next?

As of February 14, 2025, TikTok is back on U.S. app stores… for now. But with ongoing legal battles, shifting government policies, and looming deadlines, its future is anything but secure. The bigger question is: Should you keep building your brand on a platform that might disappear overnight?

The Uncertain Fate of TikTok

Here’s a quick recap of what’s happening:

In April 2024, the U.S. passed a law requiring ByteDance (TikTok’s parent company) to sell its U.S. operations by January 19, 2025—or face a total ban.
The Supreme Court upheld this law, and on January 19, TikTok was removed from app stores.
The very next day, President Trump issued an executive order extending the deadline by 75 days, temporarily saving TikTok.
Now, TikTok is back—but only while ByteDance scrambles to find a buyer. If no deal happens, another ban is inevitable.

This uncertainty isn’t just a problem for ByteDance—it’s a massive problem for content creators, food influencers, and food & beverage businesses that rely on TikTok for visibility and engagement.

Foodies and Restaurants: Why Now Is the Time to Diversify

If TikTok vanishes, what happens to all the videos you’ve created? The following you’ve built? The community you’ve nurtured?

Instead of waiting for another ban to disrupt your business, why not secure your future on a platform built specifically for food lovers, food influencers, and restaurants?
