There won't be a ban. TikTok will probably end up making a U.S. only version that will satisfy congress.
The data will be sold to a 3rd party broker who will then keep sending it to China, so nothing will change in the end.
I don't think this is correct.
They wont reveal their code and leaders in the US are too uncomfortable. With a conservative court, a ban will be not found unconstitutional.
The revealed their code to a US company already: Oracle.
They just don't like that the youth use it to see what's happening in other parts of the world, like Palestine. They want to be able to keep the US populace within their propaganda bubble, in the state we were in when we didn't know about things like the Irgun or The Great March of Return.
You may be right.
There are no 'leaders' in the US offices of tik toc
You and your correct predictions... smdh
