The important thing is that it lives on American servers first, where the FBI and NSA can get at it.
If it lives on Chinese servers, the CIA have to get involved.
They already moved it onto American servers, in 2022.
they want the chinese info too you silly little american
The chinese market has a different version of Tiktok, Douyin. Tiktok being American owned wouldn't give Chinese data. It would give America data of all other countries though, ~85% of Tiktok's userbase, unless ByteDance only spun off American Tiktok.
you didn't have to ruin my bad joke smh.
TikTok's American data is already hosted on Oracle servers. Has been for awhile.
It already does. They use Oracle for their American data.
