She went on to explain that digital platforms heavily use the data they collect on their users. “This is not new, this is not specific to TikTok. The US government has been shown to use some or sort of try to get some of the data as well,” she added. The most likely scenario, according to her, is that TikTok will be banned in the US if it fails to secure a buyer. Another possibility is that it could be sold to a US-based company, as mandated by the government.
A partial sale, she suggested, might involve TikTok selling its platform and user base but withholding access to its algorithm and technical components. This scenario would significantly diminish TikTok US’s appeal to potential buyers and likely lower its valuation.A misconception about the ban is that TikTok will just disappear. It won’t.
