    America already controls the TikTok servers. It all needs to be hosted on Oracle, and Oracle can see the source code.

    The ban makes no sense seeing the previous requirements.

      Where did you get the idea that Oracle can see their source code? That only applies if they host their source repository on Oracle, if they host the servers there chances are it’s binaries that are hosted on the server not the source code.

        May 2023 - TikTok Will ‘Soon’ Grant Oracle Full Access to Code, Algorithm

        (Bloomberg) – TikTok will “soon” grant Oracle Corp. full access to its source code, algorithm and content-moderation material as part of efforts to alleviate national security concerns about the app.

        Oracle will also begin monitoring the controlled gateways where data comes in and out of the secure environment it set up on servers to host data from TikTok’s US users, according to a statement from the social media company Monday.
