Part 3/10:
Data Sovereignty: Data access is strictly limited to the U.S., with Oracle managing and retraining the algorithm on U.S. servers.
Operational Independence: While ByteDance remains the primary shareholder, the actual algorithm training—responsible for content recommendations—is conducted within U.S. infrastructure, reducing security risks.
Commercial Operations: ByteDance will continue assisting with ad sales and e-commerce, but the core data and algorithm training are U.S.-centered.
This structure seems designed to satisfy security regulators while preserving TikTok’s commercial viability.
