TikTok could be acquired by Oracle and Microsoft, according to recently leaked information about a new purchase agreement.

After Donald Trump granted a 75-day extension on the operation of the app in the United States, it has been learned that the president is leading the negotiations that point to an alliance between Oracle and Microsoft to acquire TikTok.

In this negotiation that also involves other investors, “ByteDance would retain a small stake” in the platform.

However, “with regard to the application’s algorithm, data collection and software updates would be supervised by Oracle.” In this sense, it is appropriate to highlight that the servers of said company “are already providing most of the operation of TikTok and would be in charge of monitoring and supervising everything that will happen in the application.”

The video platform TikTok could be definitively banned in the United States after this Saturday, April 20, the House of Representatives approved legislation in this direction.

According to the media report, the US authorities establish as a condition for allowing the use of TikTok in the country that the Chinese parent company ByteDance disassociates itself from the video platform.

On the other hand, “another regulation is proposed that enables the US Government to appropriate Russian assets frozen in the country worth about 6 billion euros.”

The legal issue regarding the video platform has been prolonged, legislators’ discussions continue, and criticism highlights that a definitive ban threatens freedom of expression.

The legislation will be voted on by the Senate this week. Meanwhile, ByteDance is exhausting all legal instruments “before considering any type of divestment if the TikTok ban becomes law.”

TikTok signed a music license agreement with Warner Music to bring its catalog to the video platform and the different services it offers, such as its music library, TikTok Music and the CapCut video editing application.

The platform, owned by ByteDance, commented that this agreement “will expand the level of partnership, collaboration and innovation between the two companies” and that “it will deepen the engagement with the audience of TikTok music fans.”

As the social network said in the announcement statement, with this association with the record label, artists and composers will have access to new ways of working with the brand’s partners, as well as new monetization, merchandising and ticketing functions, digital goods and services.

This deal also includes TikTok Music, the premium subscription streaming service, which launched in early July in Indonesia and Brazil and expects to roll out to other regions soon.

In addition, the agreement “also paves the way for Warner Music Group artists and songwriters to take advantage of unique promotional capabilities” and engage with the user community of TikTok’s video app CapCut.

La entrada TikTok and Warner Music partnered to power content apareció primero en Bitfinance.

TikTok is developing new navigation and usage options for the app, including auto-scroll mode and the ability to edit a post.

The application, owned by ByteDance, does not allow you to edit the text of a video once it is published. In case of having shared a content with an error, the content must be saved on the device, deleted from the platform and republished.

However, social media consultant and industry analyst Matt Navarra verified that the platform is working on new features for content modification and browsing on the social network.

In a screenshot shared via Twitter, Navarra has presented the new TikTok buttons, which the company has not yet officially implemented, including one for Edit post.

On the other hand, the platform is working on the ability to save published videos without a watermark, an element that shows the logo of the application, its name and the profile from which the original video has been shared.

In this way, as it lacks a watermark, it will be possible to “reuse content on multiple platforms”, according to Navarra, such as Facebook and Instagram Stories or YouTube Shorts, which also have a vertical format.

Finally, the analyst confirmed that TikTok created a button called Auto scroll, suggesting that the app will introduce the ability to automatically scroll content from bottom to top.

TikTok plans to introduce a new video game channel within the platform, in which it will soon include a tab called ‘Games’ to offer complementary content to the videos that characterize the platform.

This service owned by ByteDance is essentially audiovisual, as it is based on short-form, vertical videos for mobile devices, which can last between five seconds and three minutes, which can be edited with music and effects.

The Chinese platform now plans to introduce a new tab dedicated to video games, a different format that can be accessed from the application itself, as sources close to the company have told the Financial Times.

The new channel will host mobile video games, and will allow developers to introduce advertisements and advertising content, and offer users the possibility to pay to access additional content.

At the moment the games included in this section have not been disclosed or when it will be available to users, although the sources consulted have anticipated that TikTok will announce both the availability of this tab and its characteristics within the framework of the event ‘TikTok made me play it’, which will take place on November 2.

It should be remembered that this TikTok strategy in favor of video games has come months after another streaming content platform such as Netflix also opted for this entertainment format for iOS and Android mobiles.

Meta, on the other hand, announced the closure of its Facebook Gaming video game ‘hub’ for ‘smartphones’, which allowed users to access broadcasts or retransmit their games themselves, and play some titles directly, and which has materialized this Friday.
