TikTok will soon grant Oracle, the US company, access to the short-video platform's source code, algorithm, and content moderation materials as part of efforts to mitigate national security concerns about the app.

Oracle will also begin monitoring the controlled gateways that allow data in and out of the secure environment it has set up on servers hosting data from TikTok users in the United States. This comes as part of TikTok's "Project Texas" project, a plan to cordon off US users' data and allow its technology to be reviewed by partners such as Oracle to assess security risks.
