TikTok is now mostly owned by the US, having concluded a deal with several US-based investors. This development prevented TikTok from being banned in the US, as the deadline for it was met, after months of deliberation.
As it is now, TikTok was finally divested from ByteDance, which retains a 20% stake, and the other 80% is split among Oracle, Silver Lake, MGX and others. It means that each company has a 15% stake.
The interesting part of the deal is that it will protect American users’ data and keep TikTok’s algorithm on US users’ data on its servers. Oracle will be responsible for content moderation.
This new joint deal will also cover CapCut and Lemon8, promising interoperability as well as international content to everyone.
Seven board members, mostly Americans, will preside over this operation. The members include the following: Shou Zi Chew, the Chief Executive Officer of TikTok, Silver Lake co-CEO, Egon Durban, Oracle Executive Vice President Kenneth Glueck and MGX Chief Strategy and Safety Officer David Scott.
