Here's what I am guessing it is:

- Bytedance retains some ownership and control of the app and the algorithms

- Oracle runs the entire back end on their infrastructure

- Oracle guarantees to the US government that no data is going back to China (because they control the release of the app and control the back end)

- This satisfies the USA's (supposed) national security concerns and also satisfies China because TikTok is not actually being "sold" to a US company.
