The White House confirmed Monday that Oracle will oversee TikTok’s U.S. algorithm once the social media platform’s sale is finalized. A senior official said the app’s recommendation system will be operated entirely in the United States, under continuous monitoring to ensure security.
Oracle could provide security for TikTok's algorithm in the US, according to reports. $ORCL shares rose 3% in early trading.
