What stops the group of investors that acquires TikTok from having ByteDance US (or ByteDance Beijing) operate the platform behind the scenes?
Why does some US entity that probably contributed nothing to TikTok's success get to financially benefit from acquiring TikTok by force?
What good will having someone else operate TikTok (who might not be technically adept enough to do this) do to curb the propaganda concerns the US Gov is alleging? If the operator isn't a tech company that is comfortable with webscale, wouldn't propaganda accelerate?
I really dislike TikTok's social influence (despite its engineering and AI contributions being technical marvels), but if the US Gov is really concerned about national security, they should just ban it; no sales.
