Amazon wants to buy TikTok
But it's not being taken seriously. TikTok's future in the US is once again uncertain. On April 5, President Trump's extension to the 'sell or be banned'...
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.
Exactly, Bytedance is a lot more than TikTok and even then, the US users are neglectable.
They'll probably ban it in the end.
Can't have information not controled by the regime.

The anti trust system has failed completely.
Of course. But on the other hand: Who else would?
It's not like Bob from Des Moines is going to find $100 billion behind the sofa cushions to buy it. There aren't that many companies with much higher valuations.
Like the rest of the system is in any kind of food shape...
So after buying WaPo, bezos wants in on social media. Got to pump out the propaganda where the kids are

Yet another reason not to use that awful app.
