The social media platform is reportedly developing an algorithm independent of ByteDance, its Chinese parent company. The project began late last year before the TikTok ban bill passed. It involves separating millions of lines of code and will likely take over a year. A source told Reuters that the process is slow because each line of code must be reviewed.

TikTok denied Reuters' claims in a post on Twitter / X. The company wrote, "The Reuters story published today is misleading and factually inaccurate." However, it did not clarify what is misleading and factually inaccurate about the reporting. "As we said in our court filing, the 'qualified divestiture' demanded by the Act to allow TikTok to continue operating in the United States is simply not possible: not commercially, not technologically, not legally. And certainly not on the 270-day timeline required by the Act," continued the post.
