📱Oracle to Oversee TikTok Algorithm Under US Security Deal

The Big Shift: Oracle, alongside Silver Lake and U.S. backers, will take operational control of TikTok’s U.S. recommendation algorithm. ByteDance will retain <20% ownership, while Oracle ensures the algorithm is retrained with U.S. data and housed under U.S. regulatory oversight.

The Strategy
The move aims to address national security concerns over TikTok’s Chinese ownership by shifting both algorithmic control and U.S. user data sovereignty to American hands.

Powered By…
Oracle’s role goes beyond cloud hosting: it will retrain TikTok’s algorithm on U.S.-only data, deploy U.S.-controlled safeguards, and oversee compliance — embedding itself in one of the world’s most influential consumer tech platforms.

The Backstory
This deal follows years of scrutiny and bipartisan pressure in Washington to either ban TikTok or force a U.S.-controlled spin-out. Investors like Silver Lake, Rupert Murdoch, and Michael Dell reportedly played key roles in the negotiations.

Why It Matters

• For founders/investors: Shows how geopolitics can reshape late-stage tech valuations and governance.

• For Oracle: Gives it unprecedented consumer influence beyond enterprise software.

• For TikTok: Must balance product identity while adapting to U.S. political constraints.
