A bit of social media, with huge amounts of personal data to chew on and monetize, and algorithms to direct the viewing habits of the US public. And they didn't have to pay market rates, since the Ellisons' pal, Trump the Rapist, made sure ByteDance had to sell.

The article just talks about the US TikTok; so TikTok in the rest of the world remains under the previous ByteDance ownership? I wonder how "secure "this will really make TikTok in the US - the excuse provided for this forced sale?
