Social Media Algorithm Expert - TikTok Sale Impact for USA Today

Hi LinkedIn! I am working on a story this morning about how TikTok's algorithm will be impacted if President Donald Trump strikes a deal on the social media app this week. China has been pretty upfront that it is not interested in selling TikTok's algorithm, so how would a potential sale impact the app for American users? If you or a colleague would be interested in speaking on this, send me a message here on LinkedIn or email me at gcross@usatoday. TIA!
