I imagine you wouldn’t object to GlobalFoundries suing the US government
If France passes a law requiring Google to sell Google France to a French company, would Google pulling out instead of selling mean their core drive in France wasn’t money?
Why don’t they just sell TikTok to a US Citizen who happens to believe TikTok should remain the same?
