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

Social media in general is likely contributing to the rise of violent facism. Anything that can reverse that trend is good IMO.

This is social media too. How is your comment “contributing to the rise of violent fascism”?

Also keep in mind that fascism comes from the top down, there is zero chance of a government to “reverse that trend” by taking over. This is nothing else than the US trying to beat China at it, which is worrying.

Only way to reverse the trend of social media fascism, is to split it up, not to just transfer ownership.
