The US Senate on Tuesday approved legislation requiring the wildly popular social media app TikTok to be divested from its Chinese parent company ByteDance or be shut out of the American market. The measure was part of a $95 billion foreign aid package, including military assistance to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan, which has now cleared Congress and heads to President Joe Biden's desk.

Overview

  • White House officials said Oracle will host U.S. user data and will inspect, retrain and operate a U.S. copy of TikTok’s recommendation algorithm.
  • A new U.S.-based operator is planned with six of seven board seats held by Americans, with ByteDance reported to retain a stake of under 20%.
  • President Donald Trump said Rupert and Lachlan Murdoch, Larry Ellison and Michael Dell could be part of the investor group taking control of U.S. operations.
  • Beijing has not publicly confirmed approval of the arrangement, with Chinese state media offering cautious or no confirmation of a green light.
  • Officials said negotiations continue under a divest-or-ban law, with sources citing a December 16 target to finalize terms and reports indicating a U.S.-only app version and a months-long user migration may be required.
