1. Congress also worried — perhaps unconstitutionally — that the Chinese government would pressure ByteDance to manipulate its recommendation algorithms to sow division in the United States. (Among other things, members of Congress complained that the app seemed too pro-Palestinian.) Well, now we know what the deal will do to address the threat of ByteDance manipulating the content in Americans' TikTok feeds: nothing. The spun-out company will simply license the recommendations from its parent company, and that will be that.
