Triller is actively targeting TikTok users ahead of the potential U.S. ban scheduled for January 19, launching 'savemytiktoks.com' to facilitate content migration between platforms.

The backup service, powered by Amplify.ai (acquired by TrillerNet in 2021), allows users to:

  • Connect their TikTok account
  • Download their videos and profile information
  • Transfer followers
  • Import content to a new Triller account

While marketed as a "one-click setup," the process involves multiple steps and appears to capitalize on users' concerns about the impending ban.

The TikTok ban's implementation remains uncertain, with President-elect Trump requesting the Supreme Court to pause the ban's effective date, citing interference with foreign policy management and describing TikTok as a "unique medium for freedom of expression."

The topic "TikTok Ban" is trending on the platform, with creators:

  • Sharing alternative social media profiles
  • Directing followers to platforms like Triller, Twitch, and Lemon8
  • Discussing contingency plans

Triller's Current Status:

  • Recently settled a lawsuit with Timbaland and Swizz Beats over Verzuz acquisition
  • Facing litigation over $35.5 million promissory note to Yorkville Advisors
  • Successfully completed IPO in October 2024 after three failed attempts
  • Current stock price around $2.50
