    Lol, I don’t agree with what the parent poster said, but your interpretation is way off!

    No, he’s saying that if ByteDance loses the American market, it won’t matter much (it does, in my opinion.)

      Which part? How do you see things differently?

        I guess you focused on the “ineffectually” part indicating that US users would “ignore the ban.” Fair enough. But I think the comment is more about ByteDance not caring about losing the U.S. market.

          I don’t think TikTok’s success outside of the US is relevant to the thread. It isn’t being banned because lawmakers want ByteDance to make less money.
