In recent months, the news has not boded very well for the social network TikTok: in fact, it is regularly suspected for its dubious links with China or evenmore than questionable management ofpersonal dataof its users. To the point of making even the American president react at a press conference this weekend.
Indeed, Donald Trump assured that he had the power to ban this service in his country, raising fears of a blockage similar to that which now prevents Huawei from delivering its products there. But as often,ByteDance, parent company of the platform, would have more than one trick up its sleeve to override this potential sanction.
Several alternatives
Among the possible solutions across the Atlantic, TikTok would thus have enteredin talks with Microsoft for a possible takeoverof its local branch. Remember that the company is valued at around fifty billion dollars, and that Redmond having already got its hands on Linkedin, this rumor is plausible although nothing is official yet.
Otherwise, the app could simply choose tohost your data elsewhere rather than in China. This is indeed a key point of the criticism regularly leveled at it by legislators,to the point that they are even trying to reform the App Store based on.
