TikTok plans to grant Oracle full access to its source code, algorithm, and content-moderation material to address national security concerns about the app.
Oracle will monitor the gateways controlling data flow in and out of the secure environment it established for hosting TikTok's US user data.
This initiative, known as Project Texas, aims to segregate US user data and allow partners like Oracle to assess security risks, alleviating concerns about Chinese ownership and potential government influence.
While parts of Project Texas are already operational, more components will be brought online in the coming weeks and months. Oracle has started inspecting portions of TikTok's source code in its Dedicated Transparency Center.
