And the funny thing is tik-tok already complied with that demand for the US. Oracle stores all data in the US for them and they also hired a ton of natsec spooks onto their US team who no doubt influence curation of content. This is just plain banditry and an attempt to seize or destroy a popular Chinese property. If they sell the US will expand the presence worldwide and add it to their collection of surveillance and influence operations known as social media. If they refuse and take the ban the US screaming about it being a Chinese spy app will grow even louder as they try and bully other countries to also ban it to thwart it.
Wasnt russia bunch of authoritarians for asking facebook to store russian data inside russia? :soviet-hmm:
