      The end user won’t be aware anything happened. If a ban kicks in then they will start to notice issues when the app updates don’t occur.

      Forcing them to sell means TikTok will continue to operate under new ownership, owners who are not an arm of the Chinese Military.

      Banning them would mean TikTok will no longer operate.

      The legislature in the works is a forced sale.

        A forced sale on a timescale that these kind of sales have never and will never work on. It’s framed like a sale for those reasons but in practice it’s an impossible task designed to force failure and thus removal.

          We’ll see, I suppose. Some business sell in a couple months, some businesses take years to sell. I haven’t read the legislature so idk if there is a time limitation set on the forced sale, please enlighten us.
