TikTok says it is restoring service for U.S. users
It doesn't have to be a competitor. They simply have to divest the US operation.
Just like happens in China and in many other countries.

Whoever they sell to becomes an immediate competitor though no? They’d get the software, US users and algo.

Divesting the US operation would be pointless, the goal of the law is to control the algorithm, and that isn't something that the US office has access to. If they did they could simply be poached like Uber did to Waymo.
