forward with a sale.
A key proviso, however, could also be that Chinese ecuador b2b leads authorities have committed to not selling TikTok’s all-powerful algorithm, which would significantly impact the value of the platform.
Without that, it’s not clear what a separate U.S. TikTok would be, even if a sale could be arranged in time.
In one of the more bizarre turns in the TikTok sell-off push, Biden administration officials are now also apparently looking into how to save the app in the U.S., despite approving the original sell-off bill.
According to reports, the Biden team is looking for alternatives to keep the app running for Americans and has said that users “shouldn’t expect to see TikTok suddenly banned on Sunday.”
So, cool, I guess. Biden and Co., who signed off on the deal, are now pledging to ignore it.
I don’t know, seems strange, but maybe that’s another possibility. Maybe Biden’s team will look to extend the deadline for the bill into Trump’s term, thereby giving Trump more time to negotiate an alternative.
On balance, however, the most likely outcome, again, seems to be a suspension of TikTok in the U.S., with the app to potentially return at a later date. It does seem like Trump will make it something of a priority to get it up and running again, but it may not be possible to halt the current sell-off push entirely.
, and TikTok could end up rolling on, unaffected, despite the months of Senate hearings and legal wrangling.
Which would seem like an expensive exercise in the futility of bureaucracy, but maybe, that is what we’ll get.
