Re:House votes to ban TikTok in the U.S. if it's not sold by blowsand on Sunday April 21, 2024 @12:23AM (#40103165)
Except that the US operations for TikTok USDS are under the control and review of both a separate business unit, incorporated and independently run in the US, -and- Oracle. Oracle is signing their name to the data protections and controls and code reviews - all spelled out in the project Texas and USDS docs. I still pretty firmly believe this to be political theater, but it’s confusing given that it’s now alienating a large young but voter-age demographic and the thousands of small businesses that are built on TikTok. And it’s probably pissing off some 16 year olds too.
