TikTok ban: ByteDance would rather shut app down than sell, insiders say
Quick Glance: TikTok Ban Threat: ByteDance Prefers Closure Over Sale, Insiders Say
  • ByteDance, the owner of TikTok, would prefer to shut down its loss-making app rather than sell it if all legal options to fight legislation to ban the platform from app stores in the US are exhausted, said four sources.

  • TikTok accounts for a small share of ByteDance’s total revenues and daily active users, so the parent would rather have the app shut down in the US in a worst-case scenario than sell it to a potential American buyer, they said.

  • ByteDance would not agree to sell one of its most valuable assets – its “secret source” – to rivals, said the four sources, referring to the TikTok algorithm.

  • After facing challenges regarding bans, the short-form video app has encountered partial and attempted prohibitions in the US and other nations.

Quick Glance: South Korea's Olympic Qualification Hopes Dashed by Indonesia Defeat
  • South Korea's men's soccer team will miss out on the Olympic football tournament for the first time since 1984 after a loss to Indonesia in the Under-23 Asian Cup quarterfinals that went to a penalty shootout.

  • Indonesia secured a spot in the last four teams by winning the penalty shootout 11-10, with the game ending 2-2 after extra time.

  • Despite Jeong Sang-bin's equalizer with 14 minutes left, and being down to 10 players due to a red card for Lee Young-jun, Lee Kang-hee missed his shot in the shootout, allowing Pratama Arhan to score the winning goal.

  • Japan emerged victorious against host Qatar in a 4-2 extra-time win, maintaining their path towards an eighth consecutive Olympic appearance. Saudi Arabia will face Uzbekistan, and Iraq will meet Vietnam. The fourth-placed team will have a playoff against Guinea in May to secure a place in Paris.
