Amazon has just asked their employees to delete Tik Tok from phones that access email: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-07-10/amazon-tells-employees-to-delete-tiktok-from-mobile-devices

They are a pragmatic bunch over there, so there must have been something they found. It’s certainly a vector for shenanigans (closed source, Chinese parent company that ultimately must acquiesce to BJ...)

I think we will see the app blocked in the US. This will be the first ban on a Chinese info-tech product in the US but not the last. It will set a precedent. Thing is, China has already banned most US internet services, so what’s their play?

There goes any hope of BABA reaching AMZN in the near future.
