Last week, a majority American-owned joint venture took control of TikTok’s assets in the US, in a deal shepherded by the Trump administration under a 2024 law requiring the app to move out from under its previous Chinese ownership or face a ban in the United States. Among its new investors is the tech company Oracle, whose executive chair Larry Ellison is a close affiliate of President Donald Trump. Oracle will store US TikTok users’ data in a “secure US cloud environment,” according to TikTok, and the new joint venture will “have decision-making authority for trust and safety policies and content moderation.”
My money is anything that doesn’t match Ellison’s views was set up to get archived along with a whole bunch of user info and location data…
Then it gets uploaded, and tracks who interacts with it.
Because that’s the only way “data server issues” could only impact certain topics but not everything.
