TikTok is facing US sanctions and severe criticism (at least by the tech community) for privacy invasion.
In spite of this Microsoft and Oracle are allegedly looking to purchase the US operations - why?
I'm unsure if this is a business decision or something else.
Is it? I haven't seen tech community specific severe criticism. Its more that most think its the same as any other social media. It seems to be getting more criticism from Media and the US President because one, it's China and two, he feels personally insulted.
