White House Unveils Deal to Put TikTok’s U.S. Algorithm Under Oracle Control

The administration plans an order this week to certify security terms, with Beijing’s approval still unconfirmed.

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

  • TikTok’s U.S. operations would shift to a U.S.-based joint venture that uses a licensed copy of the recommendation algorithm under American control.
  • Oracle would inspect, retrain with U.S. data, operate and continuously monitor the algorithm while hosting U.S. user information on its systems.
  • The governance plan sets seven board seats for the U.S. entity with six held by U.S. citizens, while ByteDance would retain about 20% or less and one seat excluded from the security committee.
  • Oracle and Silver Lake would lead the investor group for the joint venture, with reported potential backers including Rupert and Lachlan Murdoch and Michael Dell.
  • President Trump is expected to issue an executive order this week to certify national‑security terms, final approvals from U.S. and Chinese authorities remain pending, and the technical transition could take months as TikTok continues operating at least through mid‑December.
