TikTok Will Really be American

America always gets what it wants, and when it comes to being in the front line, it uses all the tricks to stay ahead.

Trump gives TikTok a deadline to be sold to Microsoft or another American company.

TikTok has until September 15th to be sold to Microsoft or another American company, otherwise it will be forced to leave the USA. This is the offensive that Trump started against the social network claiming “national security reasons”.

Donald Trump, announced on Monday (03.08) that the social network TikTok owned by the Chinese company ByteDance has until September 15 to be acquired by a U.S. company or to stop operating in the country for reasons of national security.

The Trump government argues that TikTok’s growth puts the privacy of the American population and national security at risk, since ByteDance is susceptible to intervention by the Chinese government.

As one of the fastest growing social networks in recent years, TikTok has more than 80 million users in the US and about one billion worldwide. Some users suspect that the President’s threat is linked to the platform’s popularity among activists, such as those protesting against racial discrimination.

Microsoft tries to buy

Following a meeting between its Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella and Donald Trump, the US company announced last Sunday (02.08) that it continues to negotiate the possible acquisition of TikTok in the US and intends to complete the transaction by September 15.

In case of acquisition of the service, Microsoft promised “a complete security review” and the delivery of the “appropriate economic benefits” to the United States, seeking to ensure that “all private data of US users of TikTok” are transferred and remain in the country.

The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs opposes the Trump-driven forced sale of TikTok because an operation would violate World Trade Organization principles.

China sees the TikTok issue as another chapter in the trade war with the US, which tries to contain the technological power of the Asian country. Washington and Beijing are experiencing one of the most critical moments since the two countries established relations in 1979.
