U.S. Senator Ed Markey has formally asked TikTok's U.S. joint venture and Oracle to explain how they protect user data and prevent foreign influence on content.
The request comes after ByteDance transferred control of TikTok's U.S. operations to TikTok USDS to avoid a ban.
Markey expressed concerns over national security risks, including potential Chinese algorithmic manipulation.
He urged Oracle to disclose details on source code review and data safeguards.
