A Secure Solution to Safeguard and Transfer Content Before the TikTok Ban Takes Effect Rescuing US Content Creators

TEMECULA, CA / ACCESS Newswire / January 17, 2025 / Digitalage, a subsidiary of Hop-on, Inc. (OTC PINK:HPNN), today announced SocialSafe, a new stand-alone backup service designed to help creators quickly and securely preserve their TikTok content in light of the impending U.S. ban. SocialSafe offers a streamlined way to save videos, user data, and audience insights either to Digitalage's own low-cost cloud storage or popular third-party providers such as Google Drive, Dropbox, and Microsoft OneDrive.

"With the U.S. on the verge of banning TikTok, creators risk losing valuable content and the audiences they've built over years," says Peter Michaels, Co-Founder and Chairman of Digitalage and Founder of Hop-on. "SocialSafe lets people take control of their digital assets-fast-so they can preserve priceless memories, protect their livelihoods, and move forward with confidence."

Key Features & Benefits

1. Fast, Easy TikTok Backup

   • Users can submit a request for backup of their TikTok account data and media within minutes.

   • Files are securely transferred to Digitalage's affordable cloud storage or to a user's own third-party storage solution.

2. Support for TikTok's "Download Your Data" Feature

   • SocialSafe integrates seamlessly with TikTok's native data request process, which can sometimes take hours or even days to generate the export file.

   • Once TikTok provides the data file, SocialSafe will automatically extract, process, and archive the user's media.

3. Flexible Browser Extensions

   • To speed up direct downloads without waiting for TikTok's export, Digitalage is developing a MonkeyScript / UserScript compatible tool, along with dedicated browser extensions for Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari, and more.

   • This plugin will allow a real-time "scrape" of content posted to a user's feed.

4. Low-Cost & Customizable

   • Nominal Fee: Store your data on Digitalage's secure cloud for a fraction of typical commercial rates.

   • Bring Your Own Storage: Users can opt to transfer archives to their preferred third-party cloud, paying only a small service fee to facilitate the secure migration.

5. Future-Proof Your Content

   • Once available, Digitalage's decentralized social media platform will let creators re-publish their TikTok content and re-connect with followers-all from a single archive.

   • Multi-party collaboration tools, fair monetization options, and advanced IP rights management will empower creators to capitalize on their existing fan base in new ways.

Why SocialSafe Now?

The upcoming U.S. ban on TikTok creates immediate challenges for millions of creators and advertisers who rely on the platform to generate income and engage with their fans. Waiting until the ban takes effect may lead to lost or irretrievable media. Digitalage's SocialSafe service is racing to market so users can quickly preserve everything from casual clips to professionally produced video series.

"We built SocialSafe to provide an immediate lifeline for creators," Michaels adds. "This is bigger than just storing files-it's about protecting hard work, intellectual property, and memories that could be erased overnight."
