Disney has not acquired TikTok despite viral rumor claiming $100 billion deal

A rumor claiming that Disney acquired TikTok for $100 billion has gone viral on social media. The story originated from a satirical site, Mouse Trap News, which published fictional claims about the acquisition and a subscription model for TikTok. The article suggested that the purchase would be Disney's largest, surpassing its 2019 acquisition of 21st Century Fox. It also included exaggerated statements about liability related to TikTok use in Disney parks. Mouse Trap News clearly states that its content is satire and not factual. Disney has not purchased TikTok, and the claims in the article are false.
