Tik-Tok new news

 US retail giant Walmart has said it will bid for the US operations of Tiktok in collaboration with Microsoft.




  Walmart told the BBC that it felt a deal with the Chinese video-sharing app would help it expand its operations.


  TikTok has been given 90 days to sell its US branch to an American firm or face a ban in the country.  Donald Trump has alleged that it shares its user data with Beijing - claiming it denies it.


  Earlier on Thursday, the firm's owner resigned in the face of an imminent ban.


  Confirming that the company was pursuing a deal, a Walmart spokesperson told the BBC, "We believe that a Walmart and Microsoft partnership satisfies the concerns of US government regulators, meeting both the expectations of US Tiktok users."  Will complete

Microsoft, which confirmed in early August that it was in talks with TikTok, told the BBC that "it had nothing to share at the moment".


  Along with Walmart, which owns the UK supermarket chain Asda, it will now go up against other potential bidders, including US tech giant Oracle.

Tickcock owner cites Trump's ban as looms

  TikTok founder defends potential Microsoft sales

  According to reports, Tiktok's US operation could reach $ 30bn (£ 22bn) if a deal is executed.


  Since its global launch at the end of 2018, Tiktok has attracted a significant number, especially among the under-25s.


  The app lets its followers create short videos with the help of a wide database of songs and a wide range of filters.


  Data at Risk?

  However, the Trump administration has accused its boss, the Chinese Internet firm BuyDance, of being a threat to US national security.


  It says the company collects from its 800 million users - 100 million of whom are reported to be in the US - at risk of exploitation by the Chinese government.


  The Indian government has also banned Tiktok, with dozens of more Chinese-made apps, claiming that they "transmit" users' data.


  Beijing has denied claims that the US ban was politically motivated.


  ByteDance founder Zhang Yiming has faced criticism for his decision to sell the US company.  But in a letter to his Chinese staff, he said that this was the only way to stop the app from being carried in the US.


  It is not the only Chinese-owned app to attract suspicion from US officials - messaging app WeChat is also banned.

Domino's pizza Update for you .

Domino's Pizza has dropped a promotion offering free pizza to a woman named Karen after receiving a response.   In recent years, the name "Karen" has been used as an insult to white middle-aged women who are considered abusive or racist.   The New Zealand arm of the pizza franchise initially said it wanted to take a break from the negativity of "nice carnations".   But some said he is tone-deaf, ignoring more important issues and "gaining privileges."   What was the offer?   The pizza chain's Australian, Australian and New Zealand pages were titled "King Ling All (Karens)".   It asked people named Karen to tell Domino’s in 250 words how they are one of the “nice people”.   "The name 'Karen' has become synonymous with anyone who is entitled, selfish and chooses to complain," said Lon Collins, Domino's chief marketing officer in the field.   “It was a light-hearted souvenir, it really became an insu...

Joginder Nath Mandal: Pakistan is 'traitor' in the country and India's 'infallible'

 The rise and spread of religious fanaticism in Pakistan is attributed to the parallel power of the government of former military dictator General Zia-ul-Haq and subsequent established clerics.   But a special figure in history, Joginder Nath Mandal, in the resignation of the then Prime Minister 70 years ago, used Pakistan’s policy of establishing power as a weapon to promote religious bigotry and then kneel before it.  Was held responsible   Muhammad Ali Jinnah, the founder of Pakistan, invited Joginder Nath Mandal to chair the first session of the Constituent Assembly of Pakistan.  He also became the first law minister of Pakistan.    Prior to the partition of India, not only was independence from the British colonial system an important issue in Bengal politics, but in the eyes of some, the peasants in the landlord system of Bengal were even more important.  Most of them were Muslims.  Behind him were Dalits, also known as Namasudras....
