The Shark Tank investor clarified that there was no purchase of TikTok with the Chinese algorithm, so they would have to rewrite it and come up with their own engine for the app.
He added that the plan also includes addressing the ongoing litigation faced by social media platforms—issues that largely stem from the fact that the platforms own user data rather than the users themselves.
Kevin shared that TikTok had found its way into the overall China negotiations and was now part of a settlement with the country. He noted that since there was now a law in place, a further extension was required, and it mentioned the app couldn't use the Chinese algorithm because it was deemed spyware.
The Shark Tank investor pointed out that the first thing people could assume in the situation was that this was TikTok's last extension. The app only has 90 days to resolve its issue, and he believed that there would be no further extensions, and it would go dark just like it did in India back in 2020.
