Does Oracle buying (or partnering) with TikTok make any sense?

Asked by elbanditoroso (33179points) September 14th, 2020

Trump is forcing TikTok (a Chinese company) to be sold to a US company (or close down in the US) by tomorrow.

Notwithstanding how legal that is, does it make sense for Oracle to buy it? They’re a database company and computer services provider; they have no history in consumer-level services, especially to kids and teens.

What’s the point of the Oracle purchase? Or was this a Trump payoff to his friend Larry Ellison?
