U.S. Influence Over TikTok: New Entity With American-Dominated Board

A new U.S.-based entity is set to take control of the TikTok deal. This organization will feature a board dominated by Americans, with one member specifically appointed by the U.S. government to ensure national influence over the popular social media platform.

A new U.S. entity is poised to oversee operations in a compliant TikTok deal, sources indicate. The proposed structure ensures an American-led board, strengthening national oversight of the app.

Such developments underscore America's intent to maintain substantial control over TikTok's operations through strategic appointments, including one government-designated member on the board.

These strategic maneuvers respond to ongoing concerns about data security and national interest, reflecting broader trends in tech industry governance and U.S.-China tech relations.
