Gonna have to doubt their business acumen if this shid goes down irl. I mean the Halo Infinite reveal was lackluster but now... THIS?!! Buying a company that's about to get Guantanamo'd?!

Great purchase for MS.
TikTok: Trump says he will ban Chinese video app in the US
US security officials fear the Chinese-owned app could be used to collect Americans' personal data.

Does anyone remember that stupid rumor from a few years back when MS was supposedly going to buy EA and/or Valve? It seems that every once in a while some stupid rumor like that comes up. Some months ago was Sega (lol), then WB and now TikTok.
Wonder what they will buy next. Facebook? Google? Apple?

I doubt the CCP will give TT away to Microsoft unless they retain full power, and I don't want that.

Let EA buy them. They'll be closed down within a year.

Nah, they would just throw in millions of MTX.
1.99$ for each second of video per post. 3.99$ to view an additional 10 videos.

This post has received a Praise The Sun from me.
And yet it's the most popular social media platform for the Zoomer generation, some things just can't be explained.

Except WB gaming division were looking to sell, so that particular rumor is legitimate. TikTok looks like it wants sell its US operations to distance itself from being known it’s Chinese owned but that isn’t going to appease Trump apparently.Does anyone remember that stupid rumor from a few years back when MS was supposedly going to buy EA and/or Valve?

The others not so much but any company has those rumors, remember Sony and take-two? I remember reading that Microsoft was gonna sell Xbox to Nintendo years ago as well.

even if it gets banned and removed from app stores, you can probably still use it until it’s outdated. Major chinese companies like tencent and bytedance will be hit on the 20th, and US firms can’t do business with them. Doesn’t mean they are blocked through isp’s
