ByteDance will get up to a year to divest TikTok or face a ban.

    It won’t, but it will be sold, and the moderation and censorship practices will change.

            if this thing is being sold because it’s a propaganda and data mining risk, selling it to a cohort of government insiders doesn’t make me feel better.

              If there wasn’t a grift in progress they would have banned it in totality instead of banning only if they dont sell.

        Pretty sure last time around there were potential buyers. I think Walmart was one of them, and so was Oracle.

        I imagine we’ll see the same names pop up again.
