    People keep saying it’s a “ban,” when it’s really going to end up as a forced sale.

      I think it’s more likely they will close TikTok in the US then sell it. It’s a global company plus there is politics at work with China unlikely to accept a forced sale of one of its high profile tech success stories. Regardless it’ll be highly damaging to TikTok globally if it happens.

      I say if it happens as there are no guarantees this will get through the Senate. Granstanding is one thing but following through is another.
