That is one of the proposals being considered as the April 5 deadline for a deal approaches, Bloomberg reported Tuesday (March 18). The proposal would leave TikTok’s algorithms in Chinese hands while ensuring that a new U.S. version of the app would not have a back door that could be exploited by the Chinese government, according to the report
