US EditionOracle to Safeguard US-Hosted Copy of Algorithm as Bytedance Stake Falls Below 20%
- The White House announced a preliminary deal on Monday for a US-based consortium to own and operate TikTok in the United States.
- This agreement follows bipartisan legislation signed before Joe Biden left office that required ByteDance to sell its US assets or face a ban due to national security concerns.
- The consortium includes Oracle and Silver Lake, with Oracle set to manage TikTok’s algorithm and security, and a US board with majority American members will oversee operations.
- White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt stated the algorithm will be fully inspected, retrained on US data, and operated outside ByteDance’s control, while US users can still access global content.
- The deal’s finalization is expected this week with an executive order from President Trump affirming it meets national security needs, but it still requires Chinese approval to proceed.
