TL;DR

TikTok is reportedly working on creating a US-only version of its recommendation algorithm to demonstrate independence from its Chinese parent company, ByteDance. This project, which could take over a year, aims to address US lawmakers' concerns about data security and influence. However, TikTok denies these claims, stating that the report is misleading and that there are no plans for divestiture. The company has previously attempted to assure US lawmakers of its independence through initiatives like "Project Texas."
