Oracle, the company that TikTok has partnered with to secure United States user data, said that it has begun vetting its algorithms to ensure China has not manipulated the data.
The server company began reviewing the social media platform's algorithms and content moderation last week, according to Axios. The company agreed to partner with TikTok in June after Buzzfeed News revealed allegations that China-based employees could access U.S. user data, inspiring a new round of scrutiny from Congress.
Lawmakers have scrutinized the security practices of TikTok and its parent company, ByteDance. Congress has sent several letters requesting action to ensure that China can not access U.S. users' data. Nine senators requested that TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew answer questions about the company's data practices, while Sens. Mark Warner and Marco Rubio asked that the Federal Trade Commission initiate an investigation into TikTok's data practices.
