President Biden signed a bill that states if TikTok doesn't cut ties with its China-based parent company ByteDance over the next nine months to a year, it will be banned in the U.S.
I guess you focused on the “ineffectually” part indicating that US users would “ignore the ban.” Fair enough. But I think the comment is more about ByteDance not caring about losing the U.S. market.
Not relevant to the thread, sure. But the parent poster’s point was something along the lines of “like ByteDance will give a damn - they still have the rest of the world market, so they will happily accept the ban.”
But you’re right. Not exactly relevant to the thread.
Which part? How do you see things differently?

I don’t think TikTok’s success outside of the US is relevant to the thread. It isn’t being banned because lawmakers want ByteDance to make less money.
