FACT CHECK
DigitEYE India decided to fact check this claim and found that it is false. While Oracle does play a central role in overseeing Tiktok’s algorithm, it does not solely “run” Tiktok. The claim about Tiktok now being a “jewish spyware” is also false and unsubstantiated.
The ban on TikTok in the United States, effective from January 19, 2025, was a culmination of escalating concerns over data privacy and foreign influence, primarily due to its Chinese parent company, ByteDance. The U.S. government’s apprehensions about TikTok began in earnest around 2020, fueled by fears that the Chinese government could access the user data.
As of September 2025, TikTok’s U.S. operations are transitioning to a joint venture with majority American ownership following a Trump administration’s deal to avert a ban. According to a report by CNN published on 22nd September, 2025, Tiktok’s “algorithm will be operated in the United States and overseen by Oracle.” View a section of the report below:
An official report published by the White House on 25 September, 2025 echoed the same. The report highlighted how “Oracle, one of the nation’s leading technology companies, will act as TikTok’s security provider and independently monitor and assure the safety of all operations in the U.S.” View a section of the report below:
The deal involves investors like Oracle, Silver Lake, and MGX, controlling about 45% of TikTok U.S., with ByteDance (TikTok’s Chinese parent) holding under 20%. Another report by the White House observed that a new U.S.-based board with majority American directors will manage operations, resolving national security concerns. View a section below –
Nowhere is it mentioned that Oracle or Larry Ellison will have complete control and “run” TikTok. U.S. officials cited ByteDance’s Chinese ties as a security risk, leading to the deal; and no such reports of it turning into a “Jewish” spyware cropped up, though its algorithm will be audited by Oracle. Moreover, besides Oracle, Silver Lake and MGX will also own a share of TikTok and no reports suggest that Larry Ellison will “run” it arbitrarily.
Thus, the claim is false.
