White House outlines TikTok deal that would give US control of algorithm
The White House reveals details of a TikTok deal that would grant the US control of the app's algorithm, amid national security concerns over its Chinese ownership. US President Donald Trump has extended the ban deadline to December as negotiations progress, with US companies set to manage the app's operations. Oracle will oversee data and privacy, and Americans will occupy the majority of board seats for TikTok's US operations, marking a significant shift in ownership and governance.
