    “In March 2024, the House passed a bill that could lead to a nationwide ban of TikTok in the United States unless its Chinese parent company, ByteDance, sells the app within six months. The bill has broad bipartisan support, with Republicans and Democrats alike warning that TikTok is a national security threat.”

    I think they’ll sell it honestly. We’ll see what happens

        Some large company that can afford it. The CEO of Activision said he was interested. Meta would jump at it given the chance but regulators probably wouldn’t allow that due to antitrust concerns. Google, Microsoft, Elton Musk, Oracle, Snap, who knows. There’d be no shortage of people lining up to buy it since purchasing a social media company that popular with younger people would be a huge opportunity.
