The #Oracle #Tiktok deal is a good one for the US. TikTok is handing over its data to Oracle to manage. Oracle has always intended to become a big player in cloud computing. To do so, it needs big clients & big revenue. Now Zoom and TikTok have turned over their business,
2/ Larry Ellison is rubbing his hands. Big data is digital oil. With such data, Oracle can also gain an edge in AI development. Zoom and TikTok have shacked up with Oracle for the singularity that Ellison is one of the rare heads of US high-tech companies who has
3/ taken a liking to Trump and actively promotes his reelection. TikTok is betting on Ellison's ability to handle the capricious irrational devil. With the deal, the aspect of "data security" is solved. We all know that all US internet companies cooperate with US intelligence
4/ and hand over data on demand if not literally linking their servers to those of NSA. Big data brings US Internet companies huge profits all the while allowing US government to spy on Americans or rather the greater part of humanity. Not allowing US to do so, ie,
5/ not allowing NSA to have access to TikTok data is a "violation of personal data security", ie, a threat to US national security. Such is the US propaganda subterfuge to which the mind-fucked American public has grown numb with the cooperation of Western media.
6/ No country dares to urge US internet companies to sign a no back door agreement with its users as proposed by China.
The Oracle TikTok deal means from now on the data of US users or rather its worldwide users will be available to NSA.
7/ One wonders why the White House doesn't give green light immediately to such a good deal?
Marc Rubio and a bunch of other hawks are hostile. For these white supremacist maniacs, the US approach to the rest of the world must be total dominance. It's a zero sum game.
8/ If the US, as a winner, doesn't take all, if the US is not screwing the rest of the world, then US is losing. The TikTok deal is a mutually beneficial deal reached through negotiations on an equal footing. The White House has issue with the part of "mutually beneficial ",
9/ "equal footing". TikTok doesn't seem to be screwed enough to their taste.
With this deal, TikTok still retains its algorithm famed to be very powerful, ie, the relevance of its advertising is a notch above all other algorithms arousing the great interest of Walmart.
10/ So TikTok deal is good for the cloud computing, the AI business of Oracle, the retail business of Walmart and the spying business of NSA in the same fashion as Facebook Microsoft Google etc, but just for the aspect that TikTok is not handing over the Algorithm,
11/ the hawks are angry. No US company would be allowed to sell its advanced algorithms to a Chinese company, but if TikTok doesn't sell its technology, it's a national security threat to the US. "National security" is the new "human rights", ie, an excuse for US aggression.
12/ Trump frets about the US treasury not being able to take a cut. Does he mean he's not able to pocket some personal gains? Otherwise it's incomprehensible. Oracle TikTok are big tax payers to the US treasury.
TikTok has also promised putting its global headquarters
13/in the US and the creation of 20k jobs, isn't this handing huge advantage over to the US?
US has entered a barbaric age. One hopes there is some modicum rationality left and the deal goes through.
Larry Ellison does know how to handle the devil!
