    dood. they were only vague in their speeches, then the US congess made a very detailed, specific law mid last year. then tiktok ignored some details of it and got a chance to correct it, but didn’t.

      That law forced a fire sale of TikTok by name. I wouldn’t follow it either, it’s blatantly unconstitutional. The Constitution very clearly, in plain English, bans the practice of punishing specific people and organizations via legislation instead of the justice system.

      This is also like citing the laws against Marijuana when asked for evidence the laws against Marijuana are necessary. Entirely circular. There’s still no evidence there.

          That is not true. That would still be either a subsidiary or a sell off. In the first case it doesn’t satisfy the law. In the second case it’s a very extreme fire sale, more extreme than was actually expected.
