President Trump signed an executive order on September 25, 2025, moving to put TikTok’s U.S. operations under the control of an American-led consortium — a bold, no-nonsense step to protect our kids’ data and the integrity of our digital commons. For too long Washington has talked tough and done little; this is action, not another speech.
The framework announced puts Oracle, Silver Lake and other investors at the center of a new U.S. entity while ByteDance would be reduced to a minority stake, with U.S. oversight of data and security functions and a 120-day window to close the transaction. That arrangement, according to the administration, includes retraining the app’s recommendation engine on American data and putting U.S. infrastructure in charge of user information.
Patriots should recognize what this really is: a reclaiming of digital sovereignty from a hostile foreign power that has shown time and again it will weaponize data and technology. Critics scream about deals and politics, but the alternative was a nationwide ban that tossed millions of American jobs and creators under the bus.
Yes, some in the establishment and partisan media are howling about who the buyers might be and whether folks close to the president benefit. The truth is simple — American investors are vastly preferable to Beijing’s control, and if conservative-leaning businessmen are willing to step up and secure the platform, that is a patriotic outcome, not a scandal.
There are real security details that demand scrutiny: where the algorithm’s intellectual property ends up, how Oracle will manage cloud security, and how any lingering ties to ByteDance are severed in practice. Congress and watchdogs must exercise oversight so the plan is more than a press conference promise and actually delivers on cutting Beijing’s influence.
Don’t be surprised by the predictable left-wing hysteria about conflicts of interest or “who benefits” — they attacked the deal even as it preserved Americans’ access to a platform they use every day. Conservatives should leverage this opportunity to push for transparency, platform fairness, and an end to Big Tech’s arbitrary censorship of patriotic voices.
This fight is not over, and it shouldn’t be. The administration has laid out a path and set a deadline to finalize the sale by the end of January 2026; Congress must back it up, oversight committees must demand documents, and the American people must stay vigilant. If we want a free and open internet that serves our values, we can’t be timid — we must insist on American ownership, American rules, and American accountability.
