President Donald Trump recently signed an executive order to ban TikTok in the United States due to some privacy and security concerns. TikTok’s ban will go into effect on September 15 unless the company (which is Chinese) is unable to find a US buyer before this date. According to an indiscretion from the Wall Street Journal , it seems that Twitter is serious about buying the Chinese social network. This scenario, as evidenced by Fox Business, is made even more plausible by the fact that Twitter, having much lower purchasing power than other companies offering control over TikTok, could create far fewer antitrust concerns for Twitter at the time of the acquisition.

In addition to Twitter, the other big company that would be trying to buy TikTok would be Microsoft , as we already told you a few days ago . In fact, Microsoft seems to want as soon as possible with the parent company of TikTok ,  ByteDance . This is because we want to ensure that the Redmond company obtains possession of the social  network in the Canadian, American, Australian and New Zealand markets. In addition, to secure operations,  Bill Gates ‘ former company , in the event of an acquisition, will ensure that all private data of Americans using the app remains within the country., and if these are located on foreign servers, he will have to have them transferred to the USA and have them deleted from the starting server.

TikTok  is currently the app that dominates the rankings all over the world , and if at the beginning it was possible to find only very young boys and girls, now even some of the most important personalities of cinema, music and politics (also Italian) are registered to the Chinese platform . Therefore, if the purchase by Microsoft or Twitter were successful, it would be a big blow scored by the Americans against the Chinese, who will certainly continue to have some income, but certainly much lower than in the past. .
