Trump’s TikTok deal has hit a serious roadblock

Had to laugh at the line "a growing stalemate over the algorithm behind TikTok’s For You page, arguably the most important piece of software the company has".

Anyone here with experience writing recommendation algorithms care to disagree with my claim a replacement algorithm that's 90% as good could be written in a week?

Real value of TikTok is in the video-editing software and network effects.
