      I’m curious if ByteDance could just create a new legal entity and call it TikTak or something.

      Money on Zuck been making his own version of TikTok on Facebook. My wife been using it and after seeing my brother use TikTok I could see Zuck and Google both wanting the app banned. So they can push their own short shit clip apps.

      Because the government wants the data collection. They just want it to be an american company so they get a copy of it all.
