    Well, TikTok can’t get any worse, right?

    Not a chance. It’s a very valuable CCP propaganda tool, they’re not going to just hand it over to the literal enemy. Well it could technically happen if Kotick agrees to kneel and kiss the ring but then it wouldn’t really be his company anyway.

      Why do you think Kotick is “the enemy”? Kotick has already worked extensively with and supported the CCP through Blizzard. Pretty sure they’re on good terms.

      It might stop the heat though if he’s a US puppet to appease congress.

    As long as he buys it and Biden bans it after.

    Out of the frying pan and into the fire.

    Bobby Kotick is genuinely more evil than the current owners.
