At the moment, the companies declined to comment on the situation, however, according to media reports, ByteDance is being pressured by the American authorities. In particular, the sale of control over the entire service is being discussed. In addition, the option of banning TikTok in the United States is being considered. Which option will prevail as a result is unknown.
