ByteDance will get up to a year to divest TikTok or face a ban.

    The important thing is that it lives on American servers first, where the FBI and NSA can get at it.

    If it lives on Chinese servers, the CIA have to get involved.

          The chinese market has a different version of Tiktok, Douyin. Tiktok being American owned wouldn’t give Chinese data. It would give America data of all other countries though, ~85% of Tiktok’s userbase, unless ByteDance only spun off American Tiktok.

      It already does. They use Oracle for their American data.

      TikTok’s American data is already hosted on Oracle servers. Has been for awhile.
