I don't think there is, unless the owner were to sell TikTok. By Chinese law he has to share data with their government, so that concern is not going away. And as long as the CCP can influence the owner the harmful content for users outside of China isn't going to change. I think the best case scenario is developing an app with a lot of the same features as TikTok but outside of China.

While it's true that Chinese law requires companies to share data with the government, we should also consider that many tech companies operating outside of China have faced similar data privacy issues. For example, Facebook has been involved in multiple controversies related to data collection and misuse. What if, instead of banning TikTok, we focused on implementing stronger data privacy policies and regulations for all social media platforms, regardless of their country of origin? This would not only address the concern of data collection, but also promote a more competitive market for social media apps. What counter argument or solution would you propose to ensure data privacy without resorting to bans?
