TikTok has finalized a deal that places Oracle and other U.S. investors in control of its U.S. business, reshaping who owns, stores, and oversees platform data and algorithms. In this episode, we unpack what changed, why the deal was completed, and how data custody and governance are being repositioned under the new structure. The conversation focuses on why this is not just a geopolitical story, but a practical technology risk issue for businesses that depend on large platforms for marketing, analytics, and customer engagement.
