TikTok is entering a new era in the U.S. with a $14 billion restructuring deal that could redefine the global social media game. Under heavy pressure from political and national security concerns, parent company ByteDance will relinquish control of TikTok’s U.S. operations — a move that’s sparking comparisons to tech giants like Meta and YouTube.
Key questions remain:
- Who will take the reins of TikTok U.S.?
- How will the deal impact creators, advertisers, and 150+ million American users?
- What does it mean for the intensifying U.S.–China tech rivalry?
