Because the policy urged ByteDance to release its business ownership in order to continue operating and doing business in the US.

Quoting from South China Morning Post, the lawsuit has been filed with US Courts in Southern California. ByteDance blamed President Trump’s justification for issuing executive policy to TikTok.

So far, TikTok is not the only one that will be banned from operating. Similar platforms from China will also be banned, including the instant messaging app WeChat.

TikTok itself has repeatedly rejected the issue of sharing data with the Chinese government. ByteDance has also separated TikTok’s business management from its sister-app used in China, Douyin.

In addition, ByteDance has recruited Kevin Mayer, former head of Disney’s streaming program, as managing director. These technology companies have also published their algorithm code as a form of transparency and proof that no American user data has been disclosed to the Chinese government.

With the September 15 deadline approaching TikTok’s final decision, ByteDance is still hoping for a change in the decision from the United States, while continuing to negotiate with potential TikTok buyers.

Currently, two US technology giants, Microsoft and Twitter, have reportedly offered the purchase price for TikTok’s US operations. However, from a source from the South China Morning Post, the price is still too low.

TikTok’s market share value is around US $ 30 billion, while TikTok’s value before President Trump’s ban was around US $ 50 billion. Meanwhile, Microsoft instead wants to target TikTok’s operations in the US, Canada and Australia with a bid in the range of $ 10-30 billion lower.

JAKARTA – Mars is commonly known as the Red Planet. But it turns out that there is another side to the planet that makes Mars look green. Quoting from Scitechdaily , based on observations from NASA, Mars will look green at night. This is due to chemical reactions that occur on the surface of the Martian atmosphere. This phenomenon was detected from one of the MAVEN spacecraft, which orbits the planet Mars. Over the past few years, MAVEN has made observations in the ultraviolet spectrum and the result is that the Martian night sky is a greenish color. “The MAVEN images offer our first global insight into the motion of the atmosphere in the central atmosphere of Mars, the critical region where air flows carry gas between the lowest and highest layers of the atmosphere,” said University of Colorado (LASP) researcher from the Laboratory of Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP), Nick Schneider.
