This could be the start of a saga to rival TikTok’s troubles, and embroil Tesla and Microsoft

    Gosh I feel like I’ve heard Tencent has a stake in some other company that isn’t mentioned here yet.

      I’m really not sure which one you mean, because they own interest in a ton of companies.

        Tik Tok is what they’re referring to

            Tik Tok is the only tencent company I know if that’s been labeled a national security risk.

              They also have a stake in all these companies…

              Legaue of legends

              Epic games

              Ubisoft

              From soft

              Activision blizzard

              WeChat

                Activision Blizzard

                I think the MSFT buyout eliminated their stake in ABK?

                Fromsoft is unfortunate, but I honestly don’t use any of the rest.

                I believe discord is also owned by tencent

                Again, non of those have been legally banned in the US.

                I’m not saying those companies don’t exist? Just answering the question of who the top commenter was referring to, which in my opinion is Tik Tok because it’s the only one being legally banned.
