I wonder if Tiktok will just make a seperate company that would comply before the 2025 ban comes to effect...

Or they will just exit the US market, interesting stuff.

I still think Glenn Greenwald views on this topic hold true.

"ByteDance doesn't have any plans to sell TikTok," the company posted on its official account on Toutiao, a social media platform it owns.

The sell-or-ban measure was signed into law by US President Joe Biden on Wednesday.

"We are confident and we will keep fighting for your rights in the courts," said TikTok boss Shou Zi Chew in a video posted on the platform this week.

"The facts, and the Constitution, are on our side... rest assured, we aren't going anywhere."

The Chinese government has also dismissed such concerns as paranoia and has warned that a TikTok ban would "inevitably come back to bite the US".
