    This article is lame. No one is proposing a ban on tiktok. The law just approved by Congress only requires a change of ownership (i.e. to something other than a Chinese-government-owned entity).

    TikTok would still be just like it always is, minus the pro-China algorithm/propaganda. An algorithm well known to persistently favor the views of the Chinese government (which can be very much against what most Americans believe in such as freedom of speech):
