After months of discussions and complications, Chinese giant ByteDance is finalizing a deal for the US business of TikTok. The company has reportedly chosen the bid submitted by enterprise provider Oracle over that of a consortium led by Microsoft. However, this will not be structured as a full sale of the hit video service. With this arrangement, ByteDance hopes to allay the concerns of the US government.
