TikTok’s Algorithm to Be Secured by Oracle in Trump-Backed Deal

Oracle Corporation has reached a deal to take over the US operations of the popular social media app TikTok, addressing concerns over the security of the platform's algorithm. Under the proposed agreement, Oracle would recreate and provide security for a new US version of TikTok's algorithm, a key issue raised by lawmakers in Washington. The deal is part of a broader effort to sell TikTok's US operations to a consortium of American investors, with the approval of the Trump administration. The move is aimed at addressing the US government's national security concerns over the Chinese-owned app, which has faced scrutiny over its data collection practices and potential ties to the Chinese government. The agreement is still subject to approval by the US government, but it represents a significant development in the ongoing saga surrounding TikTok's future in the United States.
