Lemon8 fake brand accounts emerge as TikTok sibling app grows in popularity

Meta, McDonald’s, Red Bull, Chili’s, P.F. Chang’s, Duolingo, Domino's, Kate Spade New York, 7-Eleven, ESPN, Craigslist, Home Depot, and even the U.S. Congress, have also seen handles associated with their names snapped up by Lemon8 users as interest builds around the app in the wake of a potential U.S. ban of TikTok.
