Mathias Döpfner, CEO of Axel Springer, suggested the company could buy part of TikTok's European operations, advocating for a separation from its Chinese owners. This proposal was made during a meeting with the U.S. ambassador to France and has been communicated to EU representatives, but lacked their support. ByteDance denied any discussions about a sale. Döpfner has consistently called for a European solution similar to the U.S. deal to address security concerns regarding TikTok's ownership. Axel Springer, a major media player in Europe, would welcome such an opportunity.
