Dud buy

Microsoft needs more money🤗 TikTok will give that money 😄

Microsoft don't buy Tik-Tok. I hope you guys learn the lesson from Nokia deal..

Infrastructure, *X Humanity and Facebook page for people to detail as well, Pro Code for a new world !/\\ Knowledge and Understanding Come Fourth in Digital Data Science team that I can say that will provide protection for the company but should only be used in business. I mean 👔

Microsoft just remember how wrong Chinese compliance and number are fake when trading. Plus the tiktok’s receiver steaming model has not been proved yet. They are not making money but their influencers on the platforms

Better than making it a China controlled entity

Ad Revenue or not as long as Tik Tok remains popular its worth the purchase. The value of the business will eventually be monetised regardless.

Tiktok is chinese, Microsoft will never have it

In garb of trade war, aged, fading US companies looking to market Chinese products and earn money.

Is this so Bill & Satya can spy on what my kids are doing? Do you think they could send me a weekly report?

Stocks will be going through the roof.
