No, China does not control TikTok in the US. TikTok transferred control of the US instance to Oracle (and subsequently the US State Department) years ago.
The US doesn’t want to ban TikTok. They want to force a sale of TikTok to a US entity, as has been openly stated by the billionaires behind the political push. This is partly to make sure a US oligarch is profiting from the platform’s popularity, and to decrease transparency as US authorities increasingly combat growing leftism and anti-imperialism on the platform among Gen Z.
As soon as the algorithm is deployed, a lot of damage will be done. Doesnt mattwr what the US is controlling there. Brainrot will still happen in those kids, giving them a harder time in School
