Despite the existential threat facing TikTok, there has been little acknowledgment inside the company that it might soon be banned in the United States, former employees told The Times in November. Executives have, at times, made light of the situation, suggesting in one all-hands meeting that it will one day be the subject of a Hollywood film, some of them said.
