TikTok Algorithm And Source Code Are Being Made Available To Oracle Corp.

(CTN News) – Social media giant TikTok is turning heads following its recent decision to grant Oracle Corp. access to its algorithm, source codes, and material used for content moderation.

It appears that the company is using this shocking call to alleviate concerns about the security of this particular app in the United States.

It is also expected that Oracle will start monitoring all of the gateways currently in place, including surveillance of where data is exited and entered.

The objective is to create a much more secure environment in which servers are strategically located in order to host data of the app for users in the United States. A statement was released by the firm on Monday.

It just so happens that all of this is an integral part of the app’s new plan, Project Texas. As a result, there is no guessing involved in determining the purpose of such behavior.

People have expressed concern that the app does not do enough to protect citizens’ personal information from external threats. We are referring to the Chinese government officials with whom TikTok has been accused of sharing data in the past.

This led to further bans of the app from devices belonging to American government officials after the company was forced to testify before the American Congress regarding the alleged behavior.

TikTok says it is open to allowing its company and app to be under scrutiny and one great step has to do with a thorough assessment of the risks pertaining to privacy and security by its partners, including Oracle.

As its parent company, Bytedance, the popular video app, released a new plan that addressed criticism that came from leading policymakers concerned about Bytedance’s dominant role in TikTok.

You should keep in mind that it is headquartered in China and there are a number of people in the United States who are skeptical of such connections.

The project is currently in operation in many areas, and it will come up with a number of other interesting features in the months to come. Furthermore, has begun examining the app’s source codes that were revealed in January. Clearly, it is picking up speed rapidly.

In order to resolve these issues set forth by the American Government, both companies are committed to working side by side. According to TikTok’s spokesperson, so many teams are currently working together to monitor and provide the best possible experience to all users.

Currently, Oracle is keeping a low profile on this matter and has not made any public comments.

According to a recent Bloomberg report, TikTok is excited to share more information about this new and striking decision that it feels can alleviate concerns people have regarding the app’s functioning in the country.
