    If Bytedance shutters TikTok, a multi-billion dollar operation, that’s proof positive they are hiding some heinous shit.

      I wouldn’t quite go that far. ByteDance would be balancing shuttering TikTok in the US with selling it off worldwide, likely at a reduced price. Then there’s the Chinese TikTok equivalent that ByteDance owns that seems to run off the same code base. They would certainly want to retain that. The US has the largest user base, but it might be the best business decision to not sell off TikTok. It still has potential elsewhere.
