TikTok Faces U.S.Ownership and China Influence.
Reading
A House committee wants to know more about TikTok. The committee asked the White House for important information quickly. This request happened after a deal to keep TikTok in the U.S.
Representative John Moolenaar said the deal is a good first step. He thinks it will put TikTok in American hands. He also said the law has other important rules for TikTok.
Moolenaar said TikTok should not work with ByteDance. This is important for the app's recommendation system. He wants to make sure there are no ties between the new TikTok and ByteDance.
The US venture would use ByteDance's popular algorithm. Oracle would check the algorithm to keep it safe. Vice President Vance said the deal protects user data and keeps TikTok working.
One expert said TikTok's algorithm is made to be addictive. He said moving TikTok to the U.S. does not fix this. Another expert said the deal might not follow the law as it is written.
