Medien: Axel Springer wohl an Europa-Geschäft von TikTok interessiert
Erst kürzlich hat der deutsche Medienkonzern den britischen Telegraph übernommen, nun ist das Unternehmen einem Medienbericht zufolge an dem nächsten Zukauf interessiert.
Frankfurt - German media conglomerate Axel Springer may be interested in acquiring a stake in the European business of TikTok, according to a newspaper report. Current CEO and co-owner Mathias Döpfner has reportedly proposed to the US Ambassador to France, Charles Kushner, that his company should participate in a deal to acquire the European operations of the Chinese app, according to the "Financial Times", citing sources familiar with the discussions.
Chinese TikTok owner ByteDance reached an agreement in January to establish a majority-owned joint venture, aimed at averting a ban of the popular short video app in the United States and addressing security concerns raised by US politicians over the Chinese owner. Axel Springer is also reported to have completed the takeover of the British "Telegraph".
