My point is they don't even need to do that. If people cant get paid there is no ecosystem of content. Plus why would TikTok themselves care about this after they leave the American market.
Creators can't get paid, advertisers can't advertise, the whole ecosystem dies. Sure you can still access the app with a VPN but that's just 4chan with extra steps.
"you don't get Nancy Pelosi and Marjorie Taylor Greene on the same side unless there is some serious fire"
All you need to convince American politicians of anything is jingling keys and cash. Plus MTG opposed the original TikTok bill, they only voted in favor when it was packed together with sending money for Israel.
>A spin to a US company is not enough. It needs to cease operating in the US because there’s no surety that even with a spin data and sharing won’t get back to ByteDance China.
At this level of paranoia you may as well ban Facebook and other social media as there is no guarantee their data is not getting intercepted by China.
