The White House announced a deal that would give US companies control over TikTok's algorithm and Americans six of seven board seats for the app's US operations. This agreement, aimed at addressing national security concerns, is expected to be signed "in the coming days" but awaits comment from Beijing.

• Data and privacy for TikTok's US operations will be led by tech giant Oracle, chaired by Larry Ellison.
• US President Donald Trump has repeatedly delayed implementing a ban on TikTok, extending the deadline to December.
• A key sticking point in negotiations has been control over the powerful algorithm that serves content to TikTok's 170 million American users.
