Vice President JD Vance expressed optimism on Sunday about TikTok’s future in the United States, saying he is confident the platform has been successfully separated from its Chinese parent company, ByteDance.
I feel very confident that we have successfully separated this company from TikTok global and actually made it so that we can control people’s data security,” Vance said on Fox News Sunday. “We can ensure that the algorithm is not being used as a propaganda tool by a foreign government.”
TikTok has long faced scrutiny over its data practices and ByteDance’s ties to Beijing. The debate intensified after former President Joe Biden signed a national security law that would have effectively banned the app from U.S. stores. Last week, President Donald Trump signed an executive order approving a restructuring plan to allow TikTok to continue operating in the country.
Under the agreement, a new joint-venture company will oversee TikTok’s U.S. operations, with ByteDance holding a stake of less than 20%. American investors including Oracle, Silver Lake, and the Abu Dhabi-based MGX investment fund are expected to play a leading role, along with ByteDance’s existing backers such as General Atlantic, Susquehanna.
