Uh, wut? Why TF would Oracle have any interest owning a social media company?

"Our business partners overwhelmingly want a short video format social site to, uh, complement our suite of backend corporate technology solutions." - No Oracle C-level executive ever

Hahaha! What a hoot!
- Rich Asshole Ellison ran out of ways to be a dickweed to the rest of the industry he's in. So he's gotta branch out...
- I believe Oracle is running analytics collection for TikTok traffic in the US. There's some weird preexisting connection between the companies though.
  
  TikTok runs on Oracle's cloud to have a US presence.
- Prediction: It'll be a quick flip to a different buyer. Oracle is the first buyer to make it look 'okay' to the general public, before Oracle sells it to X or Meta to shore up their finances.
Honestly if they wanted to kill TikTok, handing it to Oracle is an easy way to do it. Everything they touch turns to shit.
- One
  Rich
  Asshole
  Called
  Larry
  Ellison
- there is a 999% chance that they will censor the palestine content completely out of it
Dear God at least give them a chance with IBM.

Oracle would use it to sue Facebook and YouTube for stealing their IP for vertical video, all while the platform combusts.

hmmmmm....

Actually on second thought.............
- Why the hell is vertical video a big deal? It's just another aspect ratio.
