Is TikTok — Not AI — What Saves Oracle?
Oracle (NYSE: ORCL) shares are jumping 5% in premarket trading this morning, following news that TikTok’s parent company ByteDance signed binding agreements to form a U.S. joint venture majority-owned by American investors.
A memo from TikTok’s top executive reportedly says that the social-media phenomenon inked deals to create a U.S. joint venture, with Oracle’s cloud business as its backbone.
The deal won't do "a thing to protect the privacy of American users," said Senate Democrat Ron Wyden of Oregon, who voted against the 2024 bill. "It's unclear that it will even put TikTok's algorithm in safer hands."
The Chinese-owned social media giant will divest its U.S. entity to a joint venture controlled by American investors.
