The recent bill passed by the United States Congress regarding TikTok has left many people wondering about the future of the popular social media platform. With President Joe Biden signing the bill, the fate of TikTok hangs in the balance. There are three possible outcomes that could unfold in the coming months.
Possible Outcomes
TikTok has the option to sue and potentially win against the ban, allowing it to continue operating as usual. Another possibility is that ByteDance, the owner of TikTok, may choose to shut down the platform and walk away. The third scenario involves ByteDance selling TikTok’s US operations to a different company. These outcomes will need to be determined within a year or less, leaving TikTok users and investors uncertain about what lies ahead.
If ByteDance decides to sell TikTok US, the question arises of who might be interested in acquiring the popular platform. While there is no clear frontrunner, several companies have been speculated to be potential buyers. It is essential to analyze which companies would benefit from acquiring TikTok and which ones are unlikely to pursue such a deal, despite their interest.
