TikTok Deal Could Hand Trump Allies Major Influence Before Elections.

TikTok Deal Could Hand Trump Allies Major Influence Before Elections.

In the USA.

The news as it trends.

TikTok may soon fall under the influence of Trump allies as the U.S. nears its midterm elections. President Donald Trump confirmed that a group of American investors, including Fox Corporation CEO Lachlan Murdoch, Oracle’s Larry Ellison, and Dell Technologies’ Michael Dell are involved in a proposed deal to acquire TikTok’s U.S. operations from Chinese parent company ByteDance.

Trump stated that Murdoch and his father Rupert are “probably going to be in the group,” raising concerns about political influence over one of the most popular social media platforms among young voters.

The deal, still pending finalization, would give these conservative media and tech moguls control over TikTok’s algorithm and data, potentially reshaping its role in American political discourse.
