TikTok refutes claims of developing a separate recommendation algorithm for American users amidst ongoing political pressure.
TikTok, the widely-used social media app, has strongly denied accusations of creating a separate version of its recommendation algorithm just for American users.
The purported motive behind this move, as suggested by the report, is that TikTok’s alleged action might be an attempt to calm down American lawmakers who want the short video company to sell its operations in the US.“The ‘qualified divestiture’ demanded by the Act to allow TikTok to continue operating in the United States is simply not possible: not commercially, not technologically, not legally. And certainly not on the 270-day timeline required by the Act,” the platform asserted.
