Everyone keeps saying “Tik Toc ban,” but this is more of a ByteDance ban. If they want to sell off or spin off the business for markets outside of China, they could 100% do that.

What could possibly be wrong about an incredibly engaging experience, that makes me lose track of time, and constantly keeps trying to sneak Joe Rogan content into my day?

It's also funny to see "free" market worshipping liberals explain how emulating the CCP's policies is essential to protecting our liberty
It's less funny to see the ACLU EFF and Amnesty International get ignored
Most liberals I know are not big fans of the free market...
Free market worshiping liberals.... lol wut?

People really are not reading the law or articles about it at all.
This has nothing to do with TikTok. TikTok is already incredibly controlled by the US and particularly by the CIA: https://www.mintpressnews.com/tiktok-chinese-trojan-horse-run-former-cia/286780/
