"The banning of TikTok could provide some competitive relief to social media platforms, such as Snapchat and Facebook Morgan Stanley’s Sales team wrote Tuesday morning," according to CNBC.

Snap, which refers to itself as a camera company, has one of the most popular social networking apps, Snapchat, in developed regions such as North America and Europe.
