TL;DR

TikTok is developing a separate recommendation algorithm for its U.S. users to address political concerns and potential legal requirements for divestiture from its Chinese parent company, ByteDance. This complex task involves splitting millions of lines of code and could take over a year to complete. TikTok and ByteDance are also challenging a U.S. law that mandates a sale or ban of the app by January 19, arguing it is not feasible.
