"New York —

The joint venture acquiring TikTok’s US assets has been formally established and has announced its leadership team, according to the company, one day before the deadline set by President Donald Trump for the app’s US assets to be spun off by Chinese parent company ByteDance.

The transaction’s close concludes a yearslong effort to secure TikTok’s long-term future in the United States and address concerns that it posed a national security risk.

“The majority American owned Joint Venture will operate under defined safeguards that protect national security through comprehensive data protections, algorithm security, content moderation, and software assurances for U.S. users,” the group said in a statement on Thursday.

The joint venture will be led by CEO Adam Presser, who previously led TikTok’s efforts to secure Americans’ user data in the United States, and Chief Security Officer Will Farrell, who led privacy and security for the effort.

It will be overseen by a board that includes TikTok US CEO Shou Chew; Kenneth Glueck, Executive Vice President in the Office of the Chief Executive Officer at Oracle; and representatives of investment firm Susquehanna International Group and private equity firm Silver Lake, Emirati investment firm MGX, among others.

How much of a national security issue was it

The real issue I have is what if other countries make our businesses sell to them for a similar reason aka "security issues" or whatever the narrative was for TikTok whether true or not.

"TikTok’s U.S. app, now under majority American ownership, said a recent wave of glitches and content disruption was due to a power outage at one of its data centers, pushing back against claims that the platform was censoring political speech.

Users have reported issues with their accounts since the video-sharing app began operating under a newly-formed U.S.-led joint venture, following months of political pressure over its Chinese ownership."

Things went a little off track
