Once again, the app isnt going to be banned unless the CCCP refuses to divest from TikTok
#1. The CCCP is Soviet Russia. #2. The requirement is that Bytedance sells tiktok (along with it's proprietary algorithms) to a US based company.
CCCP ๐๐คฃ๐. Fuck me that's hilarious.
Well, then the only hope it has of winning is on first amendment grounds because they already said that they would not be willing to sell the algorithm.
Rough life.
Fuck mega corps including govt owned ones that arent actually owned by the people.
Meta, Amazon, etc should all get fuked as well
They're only unwilling until they're out of other options.
They will gladly not have their service in US than selling it to a competitor that could pose a bigger threat to their income.
It doesn't have to be in the US, just not China, N. Korea, Russia, or Iran. So I think it's a possibility.
Yep its going to get banned.
Also I think you mean CCP
Besides what other people have said, there's virtually no chance of the CCP divesting from TikTok.
