How and who is making the decisions about ownership? I'd think they'd have gone for open bidding, or even an IPO. I don't even see why negotiations with the Chinese was needed. There's a law, affirmed by the Supreme Court. The private markets could have handled this just fine. The Biden admin abrogated responsibility here by punting this.

I only use TT for my 3D modeling, Blender3D tricks and motion graphics. I have all political options disabled and have blocked all news. So far not a single political ideology has popped up on my fyp. Ads are also 0. Enjoying it so far. Fine tuned for my needs.

		I only use YouTube in a mobile browser with uBlock Origin turned on, so I never see any ads. Highly recommended by the way. Clearly YouTube is a terrible business model and has zero revenue potential.

Donald Trump and his friends are making the decisions. They have ignored the law you mentioned because they don't like it.
