Trump Allies Take Control of TikTok’s U.S. Arm, Hinting at a Cultural Shift

A deal to install a majority-American board for TikTok’s U.S. operations puts Trump-friendly investors in charge of a major cultural platform used by about 170 million Americans, sparking debate over whether ownership could steer the app’s algorithm toward pro‑Trump content. The arrangement, brokered with national security in mind, reflects broader shifts in U.S. media ownership and raises questions about the platform’s influence on younger voters, while observers stress that the exact impact on content remains uncertain.
