Tech giant Oracle is set to provide security for a US version of TikTok's algorithm, the White House said on Monday, under a deal for the sale of the Chinese-owned application's American operations.

The proposal moves TikTok's US operations into a new joint venture based in the United States, a senior White House official told reporters, adding that the entity would involve a "majority-American board of directors." Oracle, in turn, is expected to serve as a security provider.

The agreement provides that a copy of TikTok's content recommendation algorithm be brought into the US joint venture system, the official said.
