TikTok Bidders Seek Potential Cloud Support from Microsoft, Google

TikTok bidders are trying to get their ducks in a row as President Trump’s April 5 deadline to find a buyer for TikTok’s U.S. operations approaches. That means making sure they have a cloud firm lined up to keep TikTok running after a sale.

Those interested include smaller investor groups who want to run the app and leverage the TikTok brand, but don’t have any of their own cloud computing resources.
