They were forced to sell Grindr. What is the difference for TikTok?

Kunlun wasn't allowed to buy Grindr as a result of the CFIUS review process, which didn't happen until after the transaction was otherwise completed.

Blocking a sale feels different from forcing a sale, even if the outcome in either case is the search for a new buyer.
