On September 25th, 2025 President Trump signed an executive order that approved a proposed deal to keep TikTok alive in the U.S. after being banned on January 18th, 2025 for 14 hours. 

President Trump and Vice President JD Vance have said that in the new deal the U.S. companies and investors who have bought the app will control TikTok’s algorithm. TikTok’s algorithm, referred to as the FYP (For You Page), will be entirely controlled by these investors and companies. They have said that they will do “what’s best for their business interests” in the algorithm.

Oracle will be the main leader of this operation, alongside others such as Fox News owner Rupert Murdoch. It is important to keep in mind that both Oracle and Fox News are MAGA following companies. 

What could this mean? This could mean that they could push more MAGA related content onto the algorithm. While TikTok is known to have an algorithm crafted to the viewer, with the new owners leaning more conservative all users could see an increase of MAGA content. 

This deal will be processed over the next six to seven months, and details could change.
