The Chinese owner ByteDance and the US government have apparently come to an agreement in the dispute over TikTok. The platform can therefore probably also be operated in the USA in the future.

In the dispute over the control of the short video platform TikTok, there is apparently a fundamental agreement between the Chinese owner ByteDance and the US government.

President Donald Trump said on Saturday that he was giving "a blessing" to "a concept" of the deal with the software company Oracle.

The solution that has now been found takes into account the security concerns of the USA.

TikTok could thus continue to be operated in the USA.

Trump sees the TikTok activities as a risk to national security.

The Republican fears that information from around one hundred million monthly users in the US could be shared with the Chinese government and has called for the company to be sold to a US company or to be closed.
