    Guess we’ll see how ineffective such legislation really is.

      It’s very easily effective. They’ll have until January 19th (or a 90-day extension if in the process of sale) to divest or the platform is banned in the US.

      The problem is, this bill should be privacy legislation instead.

        Yea, no one who can sideload and/or use a VPN could ever get a banned app installed. Ohh wait…

          Of course some will. The majority of users will migrate to the next platform. TikTok will eventually disappear in the US without enough US generated content. It’s already happened in over 20 other nations. It’s not a new phenomenon.
