Summary
ByteDance may shut down TikTok in the US rather than sell it if it can't legally fight a ban. TikTok's algorithms are vital to ByteDance, making a sale unlikely. TikTok is a small part of ByteDance's revenues and users, so a shutdown would minimally impact the business. ByteDance has no intention to sell TikTok and expects to win a legal challenge against a ban. The US contributes to 25% of TikTok's revenues.
