But no one is saying that ByteDance has to sell TikTok to a US company. Just divest it to an owner that is not beholden to the Chinese government and obligated to share any and all data upon request. Compared to the legal requirements that China puts on US companies operating in China, this is a pretty tame ask.
Yeah but the 5 Eyes and their friends are everywhere outside of the CCPs borders. So if they really don't want to let the US have that algorithm, and probe the interfaces the CCP propaganda arm used to access the TikTok backend, there's few places overall that have a reason to buy it, and can also afford it.
