TikTok is mandated to pay Billions to Oracle to 'audit' their code. TikTok must comply with any changes Oracle orders. For every change Oracle mandates, Oracle gets paid additional commissions.

When did this mandate come around? It's a USgov mandate right

Yes, they are required by regulators in order to operate in the US. It happened during the Trump years when he was pushing to ban TikTok. Larry Page is a huge Trump guy.

To add to the other reply: as much as we call random things CIA, Oracle is literally a CIA project.
