Under the deal, Oracle would receive a licensed copy of TikTok’s algorithm, oversee its security protocols, and conduct continuous monitoring for any irregular activity. The White House official said the system would be fully inspected and then retrained with U.S. user data to ensure it performs as intended. While it remains unclear whether retraining would effectively create a separate version of TikTok for American users, press secretary Karoline Leavitt stressed that international visibility would not be lost. “TikTok users in the U.S. will still be able to view content from overseas, and users abroad will continue to see American videos,” she told reporters. The White House confirmed that the federal government will not hold an equity position in the venture or seek representation on its governing committee.
