I’m very surprised by this. I’d figured ByteDance had a final trick up their sleeve, some unscrupulous billionaire like Bobby Kotick who they could technically “divest” to while maintaining functional independence. Either they’re incredibly confident in their legal team, or they’re betting on popular protest to overturn the government’s decision in the next year. Unfortunately for them, there’s a global crisis currently ongoing that is a liiiittle bit more important to protest, and they might have to wait awhile.
That’s fair. The reasoning is sound, I can certainly understand ByteDance’s intention to keep the details of their algorithm a secret no matter what, but it’s always a good idea to take any leak with a grain of salt.

Well, this is several anonymous sources talking about a preference, not an official statement making a hard commit.

Stop giving them ideas!
