Washington TikTok has moved its US user data to Oracle's cloud platform, the short-form video app announced Friday. The decision addresses concerns from US officials that the social media company's Chinese ties could pose national security risks.
In a blog post, TikTok said it has"changed the default storage location of US user data" to Oracle and that"100% of US user traffic" is now hosted by the cloud provider, following more than a year of discussions with the company. TikTok's backups of US user data continue to be held on TikTok's proprietary servers in Virginia and in Singapore for now, TikTok said, but those will eventually be deleted as part of the ongoing switch to Oracle .
