So what happens when tiktok doesn't get sold or doesn't close? Do app stores keep offering it? Does the website remain accessible? Do people keep going to work at the office?

> Sell yourself or else

What is the "or else"?

The result is the same thing that happens when a food processor doesn't stop selling rancid meat after the government tells it to.

The government prevents you from operating. In other words they ban you.

This is only in the case of someone with a poor grasp of the English language.

Food processors that refuse to stop selling rancid meat aren't "banned". They're shut down! The only thing that's banned is the selling of rancid meat, not the specific companies.

Very poor analogy. Once the government has arrested all the employees, bombed all the offices, seized any assets it can, but people still use the app or visit the website then what follows?
