It's always annoyed me that it's been commonly referred to as a ban, when it's actually a forced sale.
It will be a different product for the consumer, so it's effectively a Tiktok ban in my eyes...
You think all my Palestinian and adjacent Tiktokers will still be in my feed once it's sold?
Probably? There's a decent amount of people on reddit calling for the dissolution and expulsion of Israel. US based companies rarely censor on the whims of the feds.
It's actually not even that, at least not yet, the bill text just empowers the FTC to do FTC stuff to the company.
