From Beijing to the Black Hills? South Dakota in talks for TikTok relocation
Gov. Rhoden says state pursuing partnership with suiter of social media application company
Could TikTok be moving to South Dakota?
A Wyoming billionaire’s bid to buy TikTok has the backing of South Dakota’s political and business leaders as a potential relocation of the social media company's headquarters to the Mount Rushmore State gains traction.
"We believe in safeguarding digital freedom. South Dakota was a key catalyst in the movement to protect Americans from being spied on by the Chinese Communist Party, so we are a fitting landing spot for a new and improved TikTok,” said Gov. Larry Rhoden, in a statement released Wednesday by Rasner Media, a media company led by Wyoming entrepreneur Reid Rasner, a businessman from Casper.
