@zonavar68 I think the Americans bought TikTok.

@Magicianzini Only the US part - Byte Dance still owns about 20 pct of Tik Tok USA. It's now even more Tik Tok Sik that before when all of Tik-Tok globally was fully Chinese owned.
"As of January 2026, TikTok remains operational in the US through a new joint venture, TikTok USDS, led by American investors including Oracle and Silver Lake to avoid a nationwide ban. The deal allows the platform to continue serving roughly 200 million monthly users. The new entity handles US data security and content moderation, although Chinese parent company ByteDance retains a 19.9% stake."
