This is missing the core of the bill. The bill isn't a ban of TikTok, the bill is a cease and desist of sending user data to China. It gives ByteDance the option to do so, but since that would defeat their entire purpose for existing they see it as a "total ban" on TikTok and that's what they're telling their addicted teenage audience.

It doesn't ask them to cease sending data to China, it asks them to completely completely divulge themselves of any Chinese ownership. It's like if Europe told Google they could only operate in Europe if no American citizens had any significant ownership stake in the company.
