    It’s still unclear to me exactly what the deal is here.

    So it -sounds- like they’re only selling US operations and will retain a global app version and operations which are under the ownership and control of non-US ownership but there will be a brand new app which people have to move to which will have some version of the algorithm.

    I guess I’m curious then if the algorithm is being licensed to them or if they’re buying it outright and global tiktok will rent it back and this might give CIA ghouls direct control of that to influence the global version of tiktok or what is going on there. Just how independent and separate is say Tiktok in France or Russia or Vietnam going to be from this new US control? Does this mean kicking out the zionist ghouls from the new global structure and sending them over to the US one or do they stay there censoring pro-Palestinian content?

      It does seem like the intent is to create a siloed American TikTok. Conservative media mogules know it’s easier to control the narrative when you cut off outside perspectives.
