how does this give them a fat profit?

Moreso gives google and meta a fat profit, and they bought congress. I personally also think that suppression of info about Palestine is a driver of the bill as well, and that rewards congress through the legal bribery that is lobbying.

They're trying to force a sale or ban it, and I don't think it's certain what the details are, so who knows what criteria the owner needs to have

(it might be so specific only a handful of people/groups qualify, so they can suppress the price and ensure it goes somewhere specific... It's shockingly common, especially when legalizing something or when other nations are concerned)

It’s the corporate class protecting one another’s shared interests in the US. Kick TikTok out and suddenly it paves the way for a competitor like Meta.
