ByteDance

The embattled short video app is suing the Trump government over the recent US sanction.

ByteDance said it attempted to communicate with the US administration for nearly a year, but encountered a lack of due process as the US government did not pay attention to the facts.

TikTok is famous for its AI-powered recommendation system, which feeds curated content to users based on their interests.

The company behind TikTok is using its knowledge of the endless scroll to experiment with online learning apps.

Both of the White House’s executive orders targeting ByteDance and WeChat will likely be challenged in court.

Microsoft seeks to acquire TikTok’s global businesses, including India’s.

WeChat has little presence in the US, but is an integral communication tool for Chinese people overseas.

In addition to Microsoft, at least two other interested buyers in the tech industry are in talks with ByteDance to acquire the video-sharing app, source says.
