TikTok will continue to function as normal. This is only a ban if bytedance does not divest, which they will.


What makes you say that? What do they possibly have to gain by selling their main product?


They gain the full value of the product rather than the lower value it will achieve under the future ban.


They get a possible future competitor and due to the forced nature of a potential sale are unlikely to get a fair price. Realistically they will not sell.
