“ByteDance, for its part, maintains that it is not actually subject to control by the Chinese government. The weight of the evidence suggests otherwise: The Chinese state owns a “golden share” in the company, the firm is based in China, and studies suggest that the government shapes TikTok content in accordance with party preferences. ByteDance has said it has no plans to sell TikTok; but that might merely be a means of driving up the price. What the company now has is a golden opportunity to prove its independence for once and for all: by selling TikTok and taking the money.”

“In recent years, though the United States has never found any evidence of TikTok posing a threat to U.S. national security, it has never stopped going after TikTok.”

“There is now overwhelming evidence we are being put at risk when using social media. I'm not willing to expose my customers to this harm, so it's time to take it out of the mix.”

“TikTok is an incredibly formidable competitor, probably the most formidable competitor we’ve ever seen. They are very focused, they’re determined, they execute incredibly well. This is a company that cloned Musical.ly, grew so much that they actually could afford to buy the thing they cloned, and ... willed this short-form entertaining video content or format into existence, and they deserve a lot of credit for that. This is us trying to playing catch-up in a lot of ways, build out a suite of features for creators to inspire them to use our platform more, because without compelling content there’s no reason to go to Reels in the first place.”

“If the US-manipulated restructuring of TikTok becomes a template [for future deals], it would mean that world-class companies that have core competitiveness would be like 'lambs' that can be wantonly slaughtered by the US government when they enter the US market.”

“This is part of the broader technology decoupling of our two countries. We're using our different rules or policies or authorities within our countries to drive that wedge, and forcing choices between our companies and its overall customer base, unfortunately.”

“Twitter will have a hard time putting together enough financing to acquire even the U.S. operations of TikTok. It doesn’t have enough borrowing capacity. If it (Twitter) tries to put together an investor group, the terms will be tough. Twitter’s own shareholders might prefer that management focus on its existing business.”

“I don't think it’s just going to be TikTok or ByteDance’s problem. I think it’s going to be a challenge for any Chinese technology company operating in the US market. They have to articulate very clearly how their business doesn’t present any national security threat to the US, how their data is controlled, how they’re aligned with the US or benefit to the US. Even with that, it could be difficult for them to persuade national security stakeholders in the US.”

“The verdict is shocking, though it was expected. We will see what happens on appeal. It is still a dangerous indicator ... Regardless of the divergent views on the content presented by the girls on TikTok, it still is not a reason for imprisonment. The charges of spreading debauchery or violating family values are very loose ... and its definition is broad”
