ByteDance announced they weren't going to hand over the recommendation algo for TikTok which seems like a bit of a dealbreaker.

This recommendation algo bit looks unnecessarily hyped up, it is not as if they have cracked a new superior recommendation method. From an article that was posted few days back, it seemed like collaborative filtering with more signals being collected about engagement. Didn't look like something which say FB or Snap won't be able to do.
Your link has nothing to do with recommendation engines? Perhaps you pasted the wrong one?
