  #1. The CCCP is Soviet Russia. #2. The requirement is that Bytedance sells tiktok (along with it’s proprietary algorithms) to a US based company.

  Once again, the app isnt going to be banned unless the CCCP refuses to divest from TikTok

  Well, then the only hope it has of winning is on first amendment grounds because they already said that they would not be willing to sell the algorithm.

    They’re only unwilling until they’re out of other options.

      They will gladly not have their service in US than selling it to a competitor that could pose a bigger threat to their income.

        It doesn’t have to be in the US, just not China, N. Korea, Russia, or Iran. So I think it’s a possibility.

  Besides what other people have said, there's virtually no chance of the CCP divesting from TikTok.
