theweek.com/law/tiktok-ban-bill-congress-senate-vote
Quick Glance: ByteDance Would Consider Closing TikTok in US Over Sale, Sources Claim

- ByteDance stated on Thursday in a release on Toutiao, a media platform it possesses, that there are no intentions to sell TikTok, in response to claims from The Information about ByteDance exploring sale scenarios for TikTok's US operations excluding the recommending algorithm for user videos.
- As of December, ByteDance's valuation stood at $268 billion when it proposed a buyback of approximately $5 billion in shares from investors.
