Microsoft looks into purchasing TikTok, Donald Trump claims

28 January 2025
The US President said he wants to see a bidding war for TikTok US.

Sort by:

I checked into TikTok data harvesting collection and was shocked to find out just how much data they collect from your smartphone. So much so that they could make a clone copy of your smartphone from the inside out. Even worse they could hand over the Chinese Government a carbon copy of your smartphone if they decide or are asked to. There should be a flat out complete ban of TikTok until they sell there US operations to a US company.

        They say that Tiktok is dangerous to security, so why are they scrambling to buy it? All of them hypocritical base! But no, thank you. Tiktok is not for sale. Money is not everything. I guess it's about partiality. And I am sure that Bytedance will side with the world community in general. Two keywords, dedollarization and freedom of speech.

          I don't trust the orange duck :D

                MS thinks Tic-Tok is the shortened version of the Ping-Pong game. Let them buy it

                          On the other hand the US and Western countries claim to be open and free market but put up huge anti trade barriers.

But I hope Meta won't buy it nor Elon, nor Google. I doubt MS can handle that since they failed their MS mobile OS and even their phones. Perhaps Snapchat is the most ideal buyer of Tiktok.

They've banned those apps so they can copy them and have their own thing to control and profit off. But shhhhhhh, we're not supposed to talk about that.

The companies refuse to cooperate with the CN govt when they were doing an investigation back then about a T*****ist incident.

                                      The tiktok issue complied with US regulations and has western investors like Blackrock. Please educate yourself.
