    That’s…exactly why you would get involved?

    TikTok might lose out on revenue. Why not sell your US arm for lots of money?

    This is literally one of the most widely talked-about options regarding the ban of TikTok…

      They refused to entertain offers. 1T dollars seems mighty, but TikTok is a multi-year if not multi-decade data collection hub. That data is on the youth of America and their trajectories.

      That’s priceless to the power hungry. It’s not just money, it’s control.
