Oracle and Microsoft are in talks to take over TikTok

Oracle and a group of investors that includes Microsoft are in talks to take over TikTok’s global operations, reports NPR. The deal would reportedly see ByteDance keeping a minority stake in TikTok while “the app’s algorithm, data collection and software updates will be overseen by Oracle.” The outlet reports the White House is negotiating the deal, though President Trump has since denied he is working with Oracle.
