Microsoft-TikTok: the negotiation is official
Nadella and Trump for the Microsoft affair -TikTok
The confirmation of the interest came with a statement from the Redmond company that talks about a confrontation on the theme that has already taken place between the number one Satya Nadella and Donald Trump. The text also refers to ongoing negotiations with the Chinese parent company ByteDance as well as to a final decision that will be taken no later than September 15. A possible announcement should therefore not be too far away.The two companies have notified the CFIUS (Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States) that they have started the discussion with the aim of reaching an agreement in a short time preliminary for the handover. On the table, however, there is no TikTok activity on a global level, but limited to the territories of the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
This new structure would be built on the experience of TikTok that today users love, integrating security, privacy and digital protections. The operational model of the service would be built on the basis of transparency towards users and appropriate controls by the governmental authorities of these countries.
