Shocking* that Oracle gets the contract for TikTok while giving the Trump regime a 75% discount** on software. *utterly predictable **bribe

The outlet reports that the Trump administration says it's close to working out a sale to a group of "non-Chinese" investors, including Oracle, with current majority owner ByteDance maintaining a minority stake that would satisfy the terms of the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act.

new agreement with the federal government that "is the first of its kind that provides the entire government with a discount on cloud infrastructure," with a 75 percent discount on licensed software.
