Oracle to control TikTok algorithm for U.S. users if sale finalized

A senior White House official announced that Oracle would manage TikTok's algorithm for American users if a proposed sale proceeds. The deal involves TikTok's U.S. operations moving to a new joint venture with Oracle, Silver Lake, and potential investors Michael Dell and the Murdoch family, with ByteDance retaining less than a 20% stake. President Trump is expected to sign an order to finalize the arrangement later this week.
