That just ain’t happening, but forcing it to divest from Bytedance is much more realistic. And that’s exactly what should happen.

A quick read through the first bill, HR 7521: "Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act", shows that they explicitly call out divesting as an option. If ByteDance would rather shut down than sell, that's their call.
