What year is it?
But once again, Microsoft is reportedly in the picture to acquire TikTok.
TikTok is the world’s most popular social network (discounting Facebook bots), and the United States wants owner Bytedance to divest.
Previous U.S. President Joe Biden didn’t veto the bill, making it law.
TikTok refused to divest, leading to the social online grid going dark last Sunday.
The U.S. argues that TikTok could be leveraged to spread propaganda, or be used to track American citizens.
TikTok is a huge social network and vastly popular with Gen Alpha and Gen Z cohorts.
Microsoft is also reportedly involved in the talks, although there’s no information on exactlyhowinvolved Microsoft is.
All companies involved so far have thus far declined to comment.
Microsoft’s involvement likely begins and ends around its Azure AI contract, if I had to guess.
