Why Does Oracle Want to Host the TikTok Algorithm?
The first speaker says Oracle sells technology to other technology companies, which is a way for Oracle to be involved with TikTok. The guest then says Oracle's cloud computing business hosts TikTok's algorithm and is responsible for the security of the algorithm, and calls that a good business to have a piece of. When TikTok in the US came up during the first Trump administration, Microsoft wanted a piece of TikTok. For a time, Walmart and Oracle were going to own TikTok together. The guest says there are legitimate business reasons to want a piece of TikTok.
