Tech Shockwaves: Space Spies, TikTok’s Lifeline & Cyber Chaos – Global Tech Roundup (Sept 22–23, 2025)

A high-stakes TikTok divestment deal is coming to fruition in Washington, staving off a looming ban. President Donald Trump will sign an order declaring that TikTok’s U.S. operations have a buyer that meets legal requirements, a White House official said reuters.com. Under the plan, China’s ByteDance will retain less than 20% of TikTok, with the U.S. entity controlled by existing American stakeholders and new heavyweight investors reuters.com. Oracle and private equity firm Silver Lake are confirmed participants, and the full roster “is going to be real household names,” the official hinted reuters.com. As part of the agreement, all American user data must reside on U.S. servers run by Oracle reuters.com, addressing long-standing national security fears about Chinese data access. Trump’s order will also pause enforcement of a congressionally mandated TikTok ban for 120 days to let the deal close reuters.com. The breakthrough – apparently blessed by Beijing reuters.com – marks a rare easing of U.S.-China tech tensions and a relief for TikTok’s 170 million American users and creators reuters.com.
