Whatever happened to the Tiktok ban?
In hindsight the ban didn't kill tiktok but merely stymied its growth in the usa. Tiktok was poised to knock meta/facebook/instagram or youtube out of the water and a media campaign led to governmental or private industry rules on workers which stymied the websites growth in the usa, although, tiktok's growth in the holistic human community is unrivaled. Tiktok is the world's biggest social media service.

The TikTok ban was a ruse.  The current administration facilitated ByteDance selling part of the company.

I don't even recall them selling any part of the company.  Last I cognized they were in court or it had been stalled. I need to do more research. 

if it was a ruse and the objective was to sell a part, then what was in the part sold that satisfied those who attacked it? I wonder
