"content": "If Tik Tok gets banned, you’re going to want to start saving your content and migrating your following to other platforms. On the other hand, if Microsoft acquires Tik Tok, it’s possible that another alternative app gets more popular, as they don’t have experience being successful in the social networking space. So use this market to see how likely this is, and diversify your distribution to more apps other than Tik Tok accordingly."

"question": "Will Microsoft acquire Tik Tok?",
"description": "This is a market on if Microsoft ($MSFT) will acquire Tik Tok from Bytedance. Trump has announced he intends to either ban Tik Tok in America, or force its Chinese parent company, Bytedance, to sell it to an American corporation. The rumor is Microsoft will be acquiring it. In this market, you can speculate or observe the likelihood that Microsoft acquires Tik Tok. The market will resolve either when an acquisition is definitively announced, or on December 1st, 2020, if there’s been no announcement. An acquisition can be defined by the common knowledge change of ownership of the Tik Tok app, and can include a change of the app’s publisher in the American iOS App Store, or a mention of Microsoft on tiktok.com. If Tik Tok is acquired by a company other than Microsoft, this market will resolve to No. However, if there is participation by other investors and/or other parties, yet the majority acquirer is Microsoft the market will still be resolved as Yes. If the acquisition is officially announced yet still has some final technical tasks, the acquisition will be considered successful. In the event of ambiguity in terms of the market outcome, the market will be resolved at the sole discretion of the Markets Integrity Committee (MIC).",
