TikTok's parent company ByteDance agrees to a deal that would give the software giant Oracle oversight of its US operations; deal will still need the approval of President Trump and Chinese authorities, according to 2 people familiar with the arrangement.

Oracle did not respond to a request for comment. A TikTok spokesperson said the company would not comment on rumors or speculation.

ByteDance largely agreed to those revisions, one person familiar with the situation said. The deal would also give Oracle a minority stake in the company. It’s not clear whether such an arrangement will appease U.S. security concerns, but it falls well short of Trump's original demand for an outright sale of TikTok's U.S. assets to an U.S. company.

Oracle would be entitled to review the source code to ensure there is no backdoor for the Chinese government or nonapproved employees to access user data, and could monitor data flows.and others have expressed concern about such a deal.

TikTok-Oracle deal close to national security approvalA bid by Oracle to keep TikTok operating in the U.S. by becoming its technology partner doesn't include the payment to the U.S. Treasury demanded by President Trump, but a promise to create 20,000 jobs could satisfy the administration's demands. Either this was worded extremely clickbaity or I completely missed it, but I did not see anything about approval. That’s the same story that’s been out for a few hours now.

What Oracle and TikTok stand to gain from a partnership - Business InsiderBusiness Insider is a fast-growing business site with deep financial, media, tech, and other industry verticals. Launched in 2007, the site is now the largest business news site on the web. I still hope Tiktok is banned not sold. Do you remember when China stole Alipay from Yahoo? That is ANT FINANCIAL Yahoo owned 40% of it now worth $80 billion of the $200 billion marketcap. China stole from us. Yahoo didnt get a dime from Alipay I believe the correct position is to be against Facebook's buying Instagram on antitrust -AND- to be against Tiktok operating in USA when China blocks all our our apps. BAN IT TIM WU.... Inventor of the concept 'Net Neutrality' A TikTok Ban Is Overdue Critics say we shouldn’t abandon the ideal of an open internet. But there is such a thing as being a sucker.
