It doesn’t matter who the hell wants to buy TikTok if ByteDance still doesn’t want to sell.
I don’t know why we keep having these sorts of conversations when they’ve signalled they have no intent to give in to the demands of the US.
If anything large US companies signaling a desire to buy would make it less likely that a sale actually happens. The awareness that social media has the ability to influence users politically is very much there now and nobody wants that all in the hands of one country, especially one as adversarial as the US.
It’s only US Tiktok that’s under discussion for sale. Nobody’s talking about buying Tiktok globally.
And you think nobody outside of the US is interested in preventing the US from having a total propaganda stranglehold on their own population?
And I want to buy the moon. So fucking what?
The issue is that the owner has said they don’t want to sell. The issue is blatant corruption is ruining everything.
Isn’t the deadline tomorrow? They should have sold by now if they wanted to
So after buying WaPo, bezos wants in on social media. Got to pump out the propaganda where the kids are
That went really well with Twitch didn’t it…
