Hopefully it will be rebranded MikMok or ZuneZok. This seems like a dumb move, why would MS want to get tied up in the horrors of social media when they have such a profitable empire. They couldn’t possibly tie in MicMok to Office 365 and have anything good come from it.
Because they have cash to burn and having a major social media platform is trendy. /s

Made my day ... thank you
Facebook or Google would be worse, but Microsoft is only marginally less bad here.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Facebook and Instagram seem to be doing ok.
They haven’t been bought by Microsoft.

"Microsoft (R) Passport Live TikTok.NET 2020 Datacenter Edition, part of the Windows Live Social Dynamics suite"
> Gasparino also reported the White House is "deeply concerned" about Microsoft's potential purchase and whether any Chinese investors would retain a stake in TikTok's US operations, citing unnamed sources. And there's the lede. Consider this "story in two headlines" from an earlier high-profile Microsoft acquisition: "NSA offering 'billions' for Skype eavesdrop solution" https://www.theregister.com/2009/02/12/nsa_of…
That's what concerns me. Will that acquisition make MS an appendage of the Chinese government? Will that create conflicts of interest with serving the NSA?

First idea: Facebook's earnings over the past few years.
If this is true, it makes sense not from what MS is today but what they want to become.
Remember the I'm a Mac I'm a PC ads? MS was branded as uncool, boring and not creative and that mindset probably influenced a lot of Apple's adoption in the mobile space.
Microsoft wants to go where the money is and get the mindshare of younger generations who will have money to spend a few years down the line.
