  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.

      Oracle has been the most involved player for TikTok up to this point. Trump has also floated the idea of being government-owned.

  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.

    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.

  And I want to buy the moon. So fucking what?

    You really don’t see an issue here?

    source

    • tacosanonymous@lemm.ee ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      The issue is that the owner has said they don’t want to sell. The issue is blatant corruption is ruining everything.
