Admittedly, I don’t know the details, so I’ll concede readily if someone has something to say I’m flat out wrong, but TikTok is on fire with lawyers posting their legal analysis of the situation, and the overwhelming concensus that a couple years ago, a series of laws were passed that would make it illegal for a US company to purchase a Chinese algorithm.
The company, the branding, yes.
Specifically the algorithm, no.
Paranoid people who don’t know how to open a PDF passed laws that make that nearly, if not entirely, impossible.
Or so a bunch of lawyers that have side TikTok gigs say.
They are anticipating that being a core argument when TikTok US sues the federal government.
You still dont share any concrete info about your statement. By now i’ve read 3 articles about it with no proof of what you re saying although many results are about algorithms that sell stock.
BTW? Did you just recommend that i search about it on Tik Tok?
Ya, if you want to find some lawyers that have a vested interest in what is going on with TikTok that Google and Microsoft aren’t suppressing, you might want to check out the platform we are actually talking about. It’s great at quickly spreading uncensored information (the real reason the fed is trying to ban it. They want us dumb and eating up their propaganda).
In fact, even if they wanted to they can’t.
Remember the “algorithm panic” that happened a couple years ago? The one that saw Zuckerberg the subject of a senate hearing?
During that, they made it illegal to sell algorithms.
So the TikTok logo can be sold, but it is illegal for them to sell the algorithm that is TikTok.
I’m not sure what specifically you’re referring to, but algorithms are, generally speaking, code. You can purchase a company and their code.

Can you link to any info about this? You have twice declared it illegal to sell an algorithm but expect others to prove you wrong as a proof
I have done a quick search and found no proof of this
Then your quick search is balls and if you have nothing to the contrary, you have as much footing as me.
I’m good with that.
TikTok “legality of selling the algorithm”. Mountains of takes.

This did not mention it to be illegal although it discusses why Tok would be unwilling to sell the algorythm
Id value if you could share where you have your info from instead of asking me to proove that its not there.

Just an idea.
Interestingly i am searching from an area where ‘the fed’ have no influence on my searches whatsoever.
Arguing that legal info about your statement on algorithm sales is only available by lawyers on Tik Tok is proof enough for me to just let this be.
