    NewsBytes Briefing: Trump may ban Alibaba, other Chinese companies
  • Over the weekend, a lot happened in the world of technology.

    Firstly, US President Donald Trump indicated to reporters that the White House is considering a ban on more Chinese firms, along with ByteDance's TikTok and WeChat.

    "Well, we're looking at other things, yes," Trump said when questioned if he could ban other Chinese firms like Alibaba.

    Here are other major updates.

  • Trump also spelled more trouble for ByteDance by signing another executive order giving the Chinese company a 90-day-period (until November 12) to divest all US assets in TikTok or close.

    The attack came as TikTok is in talks with Microsoft for a potential sale of its US, Canada, and Australia businesses.

    The discussions, Microsoft had said earlier, will be completed by September 15.

  • As TikTok continues to struggle globally, Facebook is doing everything to position itself as its replacement.

    The company recently launched Reels, a TikTok-style service, within the Instagram app, and now, it is testing a similar feature called Short Videos within its main app in India.

    Notably, Facebook has also begun the merger of Instagram and Messenger chats for its broader cross-platform message project.
