Oracle, ByteDance Said to Accept New Terms on TikTok Bid

The transcript discusses Oracle's tentative agreement to manage TikTok's US operations, focusing on national security concerns. A National Security Committee is proposed to oversee operations, but the deal lacks the President's final approval. The deal does not require Bytedance to divest TikTok, a key point of contention. The Chinese government's stance remains uncertain, and the deal's approval is pending. Oracle would oversee data and source code, ensuring no security threats, but would not have full control, indicating a partnership rather than a takeover.
