Grab your popcorn, folks! The TikTok saga continues, and this time it seems we’re edging toward a resolution rather than an apocalyptic ban at the hands of the government. According to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt (yes, that’s a real title), they’ve done some deal-making magic.
In a twist that would put a soap opera to shame, it looks like six out of the seven board seats will belong to Americans. Meanwhile, ByteDance, the parent company, will cling onto a less-than-20% stake—putting them in a position similar to that distant relative you keep around for family reunions, but don’t really want to invest much in.
But wait, there’s more! All your data concerns? They will be handled with the utmost care, as Leavitt points out that American users’ data will be stored domestically, sans Chinese access—because who wants to share snacks at a party where no one knows what’s in the dip?
Anticipation hangs thick in the air like the last piece of cake at a birthday party—we just need this deal to be signed, and according to Leavitt, that should be happening in the ‘coming days.’ So, sit tight and keep scrolling; the TikTok fanfare is far from over!
