张一鸣内部信:不放弃探索任何可能性 正与一家科技公司讨论方案

新浪科技讯 8月3日下午消息,字节跳动创始人张一鸣发送公司全员信,回应了TikTok美国业务面临被CFIUS(美国外资投资委员会)强制要求出售的问题。全员信回溯了近一年来TikTok在北美的遭遇,坦承还没有完全决定最后的解决方案。全员信提到,下一步的解决方案会考虑用户、团队、公司三个因素,并对TikTok的未来充满信心。

  “尽管我们一再强调自己是一家私营企业,并且我们愿意采取更多的技术方案来消除顾虑,但CFIUS还是认定字节跳动必须出售TikTok美国业务。我们不认同这个决定,因为一直以来我们都坚持确保用户数据安全、平台中立性和透明度。”

  张一鸣表示,尽管如此,也必须面对CFIUS的决定和美国总统的行政命令,同时不放弃探索任何可能性。他透露公司尝试与一家科技公司就合作方案做初步讨论,形成方案以确保TikTok能继续服务。

Microsoft in talks with Trump about TikTok deal

Microsoft says it is still discussing a potential purchase of TikTok, days after President Donald Trump said he would ban the popular short-form video app from operating in the United States.

In a blog post Sunday (local time), Microsoft said its CEO Satya Nadella has talked with Trump about buying the app, which is owned by Chinese start-up ByteDance.

US policymakers have for weeks expressed concerns about the app as tensions between the United States and China escalate, with many asserting that it could pose a national security risk.
