Currently, TikTok’s system depends on huge amounts of global data and feedback loops, which can change recommendations in an instant.
Under the terms of the deal TikTok’s algorithm, which will be licensed by investor Oracle, is set to be retrained on American user data.
Mr Navarra said this could leave the app feeling “safer and sturdier” but also leaving it at a risk of “becoming less culturally essential” as a result.
“TikTok’s power has always come from feeling slightly out of control – weird, niche, uncomfortable, sometimes politically sharp content for anyone else or before it goes anywhere else,” he said.
“If you start smoothing those edges, you don’t just change moderation. I think you change its relevance.”
