We all know that's b.s. after the leaked audio recordings from TikTok meetings describing how US user data is still accessed from China.
> "Everything is seen in China," said a member of TikTok’s Trust and Safety department in a September 2021 meeting. In another September meeting, a director referred to one Beijing-based engineer as a "Master Admin" who "has access to everything."
The idea that Oracle can prevent Chinese employees from accessing data when the servers are running code written by ByteDance on bare metal and the US team literally reports to the Chinese one is, frankly, ridiculous.

All algorithms are monitored by Oracle such that only user actions can determine what they see.
The Pro-Palestine thing that TikTok refused to suppress at US Gov's command, is not "China promoting Eastern causes", it's Americans taking a position that the government wants suppressed.
Thus Biden being forced to cave and at least pretend that he was sorta pro-Palestine towards the end of his Presidency... Which he stopped caring about once Democrats had lost and it no longer mattered what Democrat voters think for the time being.
