推特入局TikTok争夺战?
Twitter to buy TikTok app? Now Twitter has reportedly joined Microsoft in an effort - albeit a longshot one - to acquire another social media giant, TikTok. Twitter is in talks to buy the wildly popular video-sharing app that US President Donald Trump has ordered to be sold because of its Chinese ownership, The Wall Street Journal reported. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has claimed that TikTok could send user data on its mostly young American user base to China's government, an allegation that TikTok has strenuously denied. TikTok plans to sue the Trump administration, challenging the president's executive order banning the service, according to a report by National Public Radio. It isn't clear what TikTok's US operations are worth, but estimates run into the tens of billions of dollars. That has raised questions over how Twitter would finance such a deal - Twitter's market capitalization is about $29 billion, while Microsoft's exceeds $1.6 trillion. |
