Oracle would run TikTok’s global operations while Microsoft is in talks to invest, according to NPR.

TikTok acquisition deal, if takes place, will allow China’s ByteDance to retain a minority stake in the video sharing platform

The server networks which support TikTok operate through Oracle's existing infrastructure responsibilities. The deal's success would grant Oracle access to perform direct oversight of TikTok's data processing and content control methods while the administration tackles data protection issues linked to Chinese ownership.
