TikTok-ejer vil angiveligt heller lukke helt ned end at sælge

TikTok-ejeren ByteDance, en kinesisk virksomhed, har gentagne gange været i offentlighedens søgelys, mest af alt grundet den amerikanske regerings bekymring om at ByteDance enten kan, eller allerede har, solgt amerikanske borgeres personsensitive data til den kinesiske regering.

Alt tyder nu på at de vil stille ejerne et ultimatum; sælg til en amerikansk virksomhed, eller bliv bandlyst fra landet. Men spørger du ByteDance, så lukker de hellere ned, end at sælge. Reuters kan rapportere, baseret på fire kilder, at ByteDance først og fremmest vil bekæmpe bandlysningen igennem retten i USA, men taber de der, så lukker de hellere ned.

Ikke nok med det, ByteDance har også selv udgivet en meddelelse hvor der står dette:

“Foreign media reports that ByteDance is exploring the sale of TikTok are untrue. ByteDance doesn’t have any plan to sell TikTok.”

Ovre hos IGN forklarer de hvorfor et salg synes usandsynligt:

“TikTok’s algorithm is too important to ByteDance’s overall operations so selling that information is therefore highly unlikely. The app also contributes to just a small portion of its total revenue and daily active users, so a shutdown would have “limited impact” on ByteDance overall.”
