Title: TikTok Sale Bidders Eye Google and Microsoft Cloud Services Ahead of Deadline Content: Potential buyers of TikTok's US operations are in discussions with Google and Microsoft for cloud services support as the April 5 sale deadline approaches. Currently hosted by Oracle since 2022, TikTok's cloud infrastructure could be up for restructuring under new ownership. While Oracle is likely to maintain some services post-sale, smaller bidding groups without their own cloud capabilities are exploring alternatives to keep the platform operational. The negotiations come amid ongoing national security concerns and follow TikTok's recent legal setback in December 2024, which nearly resulted in a US ban.
