It's not even a ban, though. TikTok will just be owned by a US company instead of a Singaporean owned company. Literally nothing else will change, I hate to break it to you - cringe app will still be used by millions.

ByteDance has said they won't sell, and the US audience is <15% of their monthly userbase.
