tiktok!!
Microsoft is planning a partial takeover of online video-platform TikTok. The US software company confirmed on Sunday, that it was looking to buy the Chinese company’s business in the US by the middle of next month. Microsoft could save the day for TikTok fans in the US. It’s in talks with Bytedance, the Chinese owners of the app to buy the service in the US. The deal could stave off a presidential ban, by ensuring user data stays in the USA. Us President Trump fears data from US citizens could end up in the hands of Beijing’s communist party. This could be Microsoft’s chance. So far, the world’s leading software producer hasn’t ventured significantly into social media.

So tiktok will no longer be a privacy concern just because an American company owns it now?
It has been always the Americans problem, they want to own everything and that’s why they want to ban anything that they don’t own, like 5G network and TIK TOK..
This is robbery. Unbelievable
Could Europe use the same line to buy the european parts of Facebook, Amazon, Google, etc?
Sell it ( to us) or we ban it!
Where do you learn such business methods?
When you can compete,FREE TRADE!
When you can not compete,NATIONAL SECURITY!
When you can compete,FREE TRADE!
When you can not compete,NATIONAL SECURITY!
EU companies are always bought by similar ways. They have no defense to Wall Street capital. ARM is being bought by Nvidia, Europe will lose the Semiconductor Industry.
This looks like Trump forcing the Microsoft deal. I hope Tiktok nopes out.
But Snowden told us also that the data stored in the US isn’t safe either…
If we can’t compete with it, then ban it, place sanction against it, or force it to give it us cheaply. It always works. Toshiba (Japan, 1988), Alstom (France, 2014), Huawei (China, 2019), Tik Tok (China, 2020).
This is such a gross violation of the free market that’s almost overshadowing the irony of the US crying about user data, or does it need reminding the biggest and largest social media sites are in the US. Truly the rest of the world needs to start pushing similar actions on US social media apps for a similar reason, if not only to prove a point then to help their own local business grow.
Tik Tok: Gets Boardwalk in Monopoly.
US Government: Sell it to me at a steep discount, or I’ll rip up your property card.
America’s way: when you can’t compete, it either buys them or destroy them. American political & economic imperialism at its finest
This is not a business deal. Don’t sugarcoat such rotten behavior. More like gangsters who force a restaurant owner to sell his company, unless he wants it destroyed with a sledgehammer.
this is not saving Tik Tok. This is robbery, tech style. You build it, we will have it.
US government: “How could I monitor or use personal data illegally on a Chinese company? So ban it or buy it! Look at me, what a freedom country! “
why not admit that the US is robbing a huge successful app?
National Security: **exists**
Microsoft: *”No no,hes got a point”*
when americans say you have massive destruction weapon, you d better have.
