Chinanews Client Beijing, February 3 (Reporter Wu Tao) Internet giants are "fighting" again.

On the evening of the 2nd, Douyin said that it had filed an antitrust lawsuit against Tencent in the court, but Tencent responded: This is malicious framing and will sue Bytedance.

  This time, is Tencent's "Nanshan Pizza Hut" "well-deserved", or the Internet's rising star byte beating "a blockbuster"?

It remains to be seen.

However, the netizens quarreled with the result that "the eight characters have not yet been shaken".

Douyin files antitrust lawsuit against Tencent

  On February 2, Douyin, a subsidiary of ByteDance, announced that it had formally filed a complaint with the Beijing Intellectual Property Court, suing Tencent for alleged monopoly.

  Douyin believes that Tencent restricts users from sharing content from Douyin through WeChat and QQ, which constitutes a “monopoly behavior that abuses market dominance and eliminates or restricts competition” prohibited by the Anti-Monopoly Law.

Therefore, the court is required to order Tencent to immediately stop this behavior, publish a public statement to eliminate the adverse effects, and compensate Douyin for economic losses and reasonable expenses of 90 million yuan.

  Public information shows that Tencent WeChat has 1.2 billion monthly active users, QQ has 600 million monthly active users, and Douyin has 600 million monthly active users.

The latest market value of Tencent is HK$6.95 trillion, and the latest valuation of ByteDance is US$180 billion (after exchange rate conversion, it is nearly RMB 1.2 trillion).

Tencent:

malicious framing, will sue Bytedance

  Regarding Douyin's prosecution, Tencent responded on the evening of the 2nd, "Our company has not received relevant materials about Douyin's suing of our company."

  Tencent stated that the allegations made by ByteDance are purely inaccurate and malicious framing.

Many of ByteDance's products, including Douyin, illegally obtain personal information of WeChat users through various unfair competition methods and violate platform rules.

  "Many products under ByteDance have been ordered by the court to stop infringement immediately." Tencent stated that ByteDance and related companies also have many violations of the platform ecology and user rights.

Tencent will continue to file a lawsuit.

Douyin: The

so-called "malicious framing" has no basis

  In response to Tencent's response and allegations, Douyin issued a note on the evening of the 2nd, stating that Tencent had banned Douyin and other related products for three years, involving hundreds of millions of users.

The original reason for the ban on micro-envelopes was "short video rectification", but during the rectification period, Tencent itself launched more than a dozen short video products.

  "The Internet has memories. This factual basis cannot be denied by Tencent. Tencent's so-called'malicious framing' has no basis." Douyin said.

  According to Douyin, some experts and courts do support Tencent's claim that personal information belongs to Tencent's commercial resources. The essence is that they believe that Tencent has higher rights over users' personal information and data than users themselves.

  In this regard, Douyin believes that “users have absolute and complete control over their own data, which should be far higher than the rights of the platform, and user data should not become Tencent’s'private property'.”

There was

constant friction

between the two sides

, and Ma Huateng and Zhang Yiming also fought a "war of

words"

  In fact, before the Bytedance "Rush" on Tencent's hot search, the two sides have been in constant friction recently.

  On January 7, Xie Xin, Vice President of ByteDance, posted on Wei Toutiao that due to the closure of the WeChat open platform, the "Feishu Document" WeChat applet has been stuck in the review process for nearly two months.

The vice president of ByteDance once said that the application for Feishu documents was rejected by WeChat for no reason.

  On January 28, Beijing ByteDance CEO Zhang Nan said when attending a public event that because Douyin was banned by Wei Envelope, users' expression and interaction needs began to ferment within Douyin, which promoted Douyin's social interaction.

  However, Tencent remained silent and did not respond publicly to the above-mentioned doubts from Bytedance. It was not open until the Douyin sued on the 2nd.

  In fact, before this, there was constant battle between Bytedance and Tencent.

At first, what attracted widespread attention was the "slobber battle" between Zhang Yiming and Ma Huateng in Moments in 2018.

  In May 2018, Zhang Yiming once expressed emotion in the comment area of ​​WeChat Moments: "WeChat's excuses for blocking, and the plagiarism and removal of WeChat cannot stop the pace of Douyin."

  In response, Ma Huateng replied: "It can be understood as libel."

  Zhang Yiming responded that WeChat's excuse was to block inappropriate discussions, and that Weishi's plagiarism has been notarized.

"I will send you the materials separately."

  Ma Huateng replied, "You have too many notarizations."

Some netizens commented.

" win or lose this time?

  Regarding the ByteDance and Tencent's "rush", the result is still unknown, but netizens first quarreled. As of press time, Weibo related topics have been read over 280 million.

  Some netizens said, “This time I support Pizza Hut. If I watch too much Douyin, I will lose myself.” “I support Tencent. It’s annoying to share and share.” Some netizens think, “In fact, Tencent is called'Nanshan Pizza Hut. 'That already explains the problem." "We must let Nanshan Pizza Hut lose once."
