so what power does trump actually have to put pressure on a chinese company like that. well i mean u.s. president donald trump probably could not directly alter to talk or. the other company to sell the u.s. operations for example but as we heard he could say ok we're going to ban talk and then they could decide to sell for example the u.s. operations to microsoft and then maybe u.s. president donald trump would. take this author back so that's probably how the whole deal could work and what is behind the american government's mistrust of this app to talk. well i mean they have charges for quite some time that talk is actually collecting privacy data from its

users so we have those accusations those charges by the way not just in the united states but also in the u.k. or in germany at tick tock of itself i'm always was saying that well for example is the u.s. operations all the servers are all also u.s. based but still there were some suspicions that even if the service are in the u.s. that does not necessarily mean that dater has not been transferred to abusing and looking at the business aspect of things here we've heard reports that microsoft might be trying to buy the u.s. shares of tik tok would this be a good deal from microsoft. well i mean to talk is incredibly successful was in a very short time span that just recently served pos 2000000000 downloads off the tick top at the world wide as far as we know there are estimates that tick tock the

end tire operation might be worth about $50000000000.00 so all new to us i pop aeration is would go for less and that is money that microsoft quote clearly fort about on the other side then microsoft also might be right in between those 2 struggling superpowers of the united states and china so we will wait and see if microsoft is really following that path d.w. business correspondent younes court in new york thank you. 3 people have been charged in connection with the hacking of prominent twitter accounts 2 weeks ago prosecutors say a 17 year old from florida in the us was the mastermind behind the hack that duped people into making bitcoin donations and affected some of the platforms most high profile accounts including former u.s. president barack obama democratic presidential candidate joe biden microsoft founder bill gates as well as some companies accounts like apple and twitter said
