TikTok also lied under oath about where US data is stored [1]. So I’m not sure why anyone should trust anything about them even if they are sold. Even a code and security audit would leave a lot of room for things like AI driven feeds conducting propaganda campaigns. It’s not just code or infrastructure as a point in time but also data. In the end it comes down to trust.
