The breakthrough follows a September 19 call between US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping, during which the TikTok issue reportedly featured prominently.The control of TikTok’s algorithm is being addressed through a workaround. Media reports said that, under the arrangement, ByteDance will lease its algorithm to the US-based TikTok entity. At the same time, Oracle Corp will retrain it and secure a US-specific version “from the ground up.”
US officials said the aim is to give American stakeholders full operational control over the recommendation engine, while ByteDance retains intellectual property rights.
