A joint venture between Oracle, Silverlake, and other investors will control TikTok, addressing US concerns over national security. The deal ensures the app remains accessible for 170 million American users while protecting their data. A copy of TikTok’s content recommendation algorithm will be transferred to the US, where it’ll be re-trained on local data. This compromise meets both US and Chinese laws.
