Canadians will continue to use the international version of the app that's owned and influenced by Chinese owner ByteDance Ltd., he said.

TikTok signed agreements with three major investors on Thursday to form a new TikTok U.S. joint venture. The deal is expected to close on Jan. 22, according to an internal memo seen by The Associated Press.聽

Half of the new TikTok U.S. joint venture will be owned by a group of investors 鈥� among them Oracle, Silver Lake and the Emirati investment firm MGX, who will each hold a 15 per cent share. The new app's 19.9 per cent share will be held by ByteDance itself, and another 30.1 per cent will be held by affiliates of existing ByteDance investors, according to the memo. The memo did not say who the other investors are.

U.S. user data will be stored locally in a system run by Oracle. The memo said American users will continue 鈥渆njoying the same experience as today鈥� and advertisers will continue to serve global audiences with no impact from the deal.

TikTok鈥檚 algorithm 鈥� the secret sauce that powers its addictive video feed 鈥� will be retrained on U.S. user data to 鈥渆nsure the content feed is free from outside manipulation,鈥� the memo said. The U.S. venture will also oversee content moderation and policies within that country.

Canadian users' data will continue to be stored in Singapore, Malaysia and to some degree, in the U.S., while its algorithm will continue to be influenced by the Chinese firm, Falzon said.

Ottawa ordered TikTok to shut its operations in Canada in 2024 but did not ban the app. The decision stemmed from information uncovered during a national security review of ByteDance.聽

The federal government also banned TikTok from its mobile devices in February 2023 following the launch of an investigation into the company by federal and provincial privacy commissioners. 聽
