The drawback to that argument is that the merest whiff of a deal to offload the app to new owners would fatally undermine the case. No free speech is lost if TikTok merely changes hands, a judge might say.
The short history of the internet has demonstrated that picking up a secondhand social network rarely works out well for new owners. News Corp.'s acquisition of MySpace ended in a $545 million loss, while Yahoo's purchase of Tumblr for $1.1 billion also faced challenges.
