U.S. and China Reach 'Framework' for a TikTok Sale

Personally, the forced sale appears to be a form of blackmail...

US politicians want to own Tiktok so they can control influencers for their own benefit.

Similar to how Musk bought Twitter (smart IMHO, even though he appears to be failing to take proper advantage of it). Copy Murdoch?

I don’t understand why there is a framework being discussed. TikTok must be banned per the law. How is it that Trump is able to avoid implementing the ban?

Because the law is materially irrelevant to this administration.

This law is merely gunboat diplomacy for the digital age.

Because no one is stopping him from breaking the law.
