No, that's my understanding, that it would go into NUCO, that NUCO would get a license to the algorithm, and it would be up to NUCO to audit that, to audit the data.

Because remember, TikTok runs on the Oracle Cloud down in Texas. I think a logical question is, okay, what's the so what here? And I'm hearing that the valuation for TikTok US could be pretty low, which I would expect, right? Because remember, Trump has said, maybe we'll put this in the US sovereign wealth fund. So he's negotiating the deal. I expect that he wants to get a pretty damn good deal.

And I think that the company's perspective, Yiming, the founder of the company, he basically said there's no way to separate the algorithm between TikTok US and TikTok rest of world because creators in the US create content that go to the rest of the world and vice versa.
