Resumen Rápido

Tras años de incertidumbre sobre el futuro de TikTok en los Estados Unidos, se ha finalizado un acuerdo para el negocio de la aplicación en el país. El acuerdo marca el fin de una larga saga y de meses de progreso lento mientras se negociaban los términos.

La nueva entidad en EE. UU. se llama TikTok USDS Joint Venture. Esta estructura garantiza que la aplicación permanecerá disponible en EE. UU. después de años de estar al borde de una prohibición en el país.

Estructura de Propiedad

La propiedad de la nueva entidad está cuidadosamente estructurada para abordar las preocupaciones de seguridad nacional. ByteDance, la empresa matriz china, ha conservado una participación del 19,9 por ciento en el nuevo negocio.

El resto de la empresa está controlado por un grupo de inversores no chinos. Tres grandes empresas—Oracle, Silver Lake y MGX, una firma de inversión estatal emiratí—cada una posee una participación del 15 por ciento.

Otros inversores, incluido el CEO de Dell Michael Dell, tienen participaciones más pequeñas en la nueva empresa. Los términos del acuerdo se filtraron por primera vez el mes pasado, después de que el CEO de TikTok, Shou Chew, le dijera a los empleados en una nota que TikTok y ByteDance habían acordado un grupo de inversores.

"Ahora será propiedad de un grupo de Grandes Patriotas e Inversores Americanos, los más grandes del mundo, y será una Voz importante."

— Donald Trump, Ex Presidente de los Estados Unidos

Seguridad de Datos y Operaciones

La empresa conjunta está diseñada para implementar salvaguardas significativas para los usuarios estadounidenses. Según el anuncio de TikTok, la entidad protegerá los datos de los usuarios estadounidenses con el entorno de nube segura de Oracle en EE. UU.

El control operativo también se trasladará a EE. UU. La nueva entidad reentrenará el algoritmo de TikTok con los datos de los usuarios estadounidenses y será responsable de la moderación de contenido en EE. UU.

La entidad promete interoperabilidad, asegurando que los usuarios seguirán recibiendo contenido internacional y que los creadores mantendrán el acceso a sus espectadores. Las salvaguardas proporcionadas por la Empresa Conjunta también cubrirán:

  • CapCut
  • Lemon8
  • Un portafolio de otras aplicaciones y sitios web en EE. UU.

Liderazgo y Gobernanza

La nueva entidad será supervisada por un consejo de administración de siete miembros, la mayoría estadounidenses. El consejo incluye figuras clave del consorcio inversor y de la propia TikTok.

Los miembros del consejo incluyen:

  • Shou Chew, el Director Ejecutivo de TikTok
  • Egon Durban, co-CEO de Silver Lake
  • Kenneth Glueck, Vicepresidente Ejecutivo de Oracle
  • David Scott, Director de Estrategia y Seguridad de MGX

Adam Presser, quien había sido anteriormente director de operaciones y confianza y seguridad en TikTok, es el CEO de TikTok USDS Joint Venture.

Reacción Política

El acuerdo provocó una reacción notable del ex presidente Donald Trump, quien había intentado prohibir la aplicación durante su primer mandato. Elogió el acuerdo en una publicación en Truth Social.

"Ahora será propiedad de un grupo de Grandes Patriotas e Inversores Americanos, los más grandes del mundo, y será una Voz importante", escribió.

Trump añadió: "Solo espero que en el futuro lejano sea recordado por quienes usan y aman TikTok". La declaración marca un cambio significativo de su postura anterior sobre la aplicación.

Impacto en el Usuario y Términos

Exactamente lo que la nueva empresa conjunta significa para los usuarios estadounidenses de TikTok sigue siendo algo poco claro. Poco después de que se anunciara el acuerdo, TikTok introdujo nuevos términos de servicio para los usuarios estadounidenses.

Los nuevos términos incluyen disposiciones relacionadas con el uso de la aplicación por parte de niños menores de 13 años, que están limitados a la "Experiencia para menores de 13 años". Los términos también establecen que la "TikTok USDS Joint Venture no respalda ningún contenido" en la aplicación.

La empresa aún no ha anunciado cambios específicos en el algoritmo de la aplicación u otras características principales, dejando a los usuarios atentos a las actualizaciones en las próximas semanas.

Viendo Hacia el Futuro

La finalización de la TikTok USDS Joint Venture representa una resolución mayor a un enfrentamiento geopolítico y económico de alto riesgo. Al colocar las operaciones estadounidenses bajo una entidad distinta con supervisión estadounidense, el acuerdo busca asegurar la longevidad de la aplicación en un mercado crítico.

Aunque la amenaza inmediata de una prohibición ha sido levantada, la transición a esta nueva estructura de propiedad será observada de cerca por reguladores, inversores y millones de usuarios. El enfoque ahora se traslada a cómo la nueva junta directiva gestionará el crecimiento y la seguridad de la plataforma en los años venideros.

"Solo espero que en el futuro lejano sea recordado por quienes usan y aman TikTok."

— Donald Trump, Ex Presidente de los Estados Unidos

Meta is spending millions to convince people that data centers are cool and you like them

Over the last few months of 2025, Meta spent $6.4 million on an ad campaign running in cities across the country, from Sacramento to Washington, with a clear mission: win over viewers on the construction of new data centers. As the New York Times reports, the ad campaign is anchored by short, folksy video spotlights on Meta's data centers in Altoona, Iowa, and Los Lunas, New Mexico. The ads make the case that Meta's data centers create jobs, revitalizing rural communities. However, they take a fairly idealistic tone. For instance, the Altoona ad portrays a town on the brink of disappearing, but thanks to Meta's data center, its residents … Read the full story at The Verge.

Paramount+ got about 1 million new subscribers the day of its first UFC event, an exec told staffers

Justin Gaethje (right) defeated Paddy Pimblett in the inaugural UFC match on Paramount+. Chris Unger/Zuffa LLC Paramount+ brought in about 1 million new customers on the day of its first UFC event, an exec told staffers. The event was the second most-streamed sporting event on Paramount+, this person said. Paramount previously announced that just under 5 million people streamed its UFC broadcast. UFC is already a hit for Paramount+. Paramount's flagship streaming service generated about a million new subscribers on the day of its first-ever UFC match, Paramount product chief Dane Glasgow told employees in a town hall on Tuesday morning, three staffers who attended the meeting told Business Insider. A Paramount spokesperson said: "Those numbers are unverified, and it's against our policy to share speculative data externally." In August, Paramount did a deal with UFC parent TKO that will see it pay $7.7 billion to secure UFC rights in the US for seven years. Glasgow said at the town hall that Saturday was the second-largest day of sign-ups ever for its streamer, and that UFC 324 was the second-most-streamed sporting event on the service, according to two employees. Notably, Paramount made its UFC matches available for anyone with a Paramount+ subscription, which starts at $8.99 a month. Before the Paramount deal, many UFC matches were only on pay-per-view for around $80 each. Paramount previously announced that just under 5 million people streamed its UFC broadcast. CEO David Ellison told staffers in an email that it was "the largest-ever exclusive live event for Paramount+." The streamer has drawn larger audiences to other non-exclusive live events, including NFL games that ran on both Paramount+ and CBS. "This record-breaking performance is, above all, a testament to the extraordinary teamwork across our entire company," Ellison told employees in his memo, which was obtained by Business Insider. Paramount's UFC match, which saw Justin Gaethje emerge victorious, was highly viewed, the company told employees. Chris Unger/Zuffa LLC For context, Netflix's Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson fight added about 1.4 million US subscribers to that service in November 2024, according to subscription data firm Antenna. The firm only tracks US data. Antenna estimated that Paramount+ reeled in an estimated 3.2 million new customers when it hosted the Super Bowl in 2024. Read Ellison's full memo to employees below: Team, A huge congratulations to everyone who contributed to the success of our first UFC event on Paramount+! Several members of our leadership team and I were cageside Saturday night, and we were completely blown away by the experience and by the intensity, skill and heart on display across the card. We left the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas more excited and energized than ever about our partnership with Dana White and the entire TKO/UFC team. I've heard from several executives at TKO/UFC, and they also could not be more pleased with how everything came together. It was a fantastic start to our 7-year partnership! While we went into the weekend with high expectations, I'm thrilled to share that we exceeded them, reaching nearly 5 million streaming views — the largest-ever exclusive live event for Paramount+. And the actual audience was likely even higher, given how common co-viewing is among UFC fans. This record-breaking performance is, above all, a testament to the extraordinary teamwork across our entire company. Every single business unit, division and team — from Paramount+, Paramount Pictures and CBS to MTV, BET, Nickelodeon and Pluto, as well as Marketing, Social, Ad Sales, Technology, Events and more — came together, rolled up their sleeves and got creative. The incredible power of Paramount One to reach the broadest possible audience was on full display companywide, and UFC 324 stands as our strongest example yet of what we can achieve when we all work together toward a common goal. Again, hats off to everyone. With nearly 5 million streaming views and record-breaking engagement, UFC 324 set the bar high, and we can't wait to keep the momentum going at UFC 325 next weekend in Sydney! Let's go!

The best budget robot vacuums

Today’s robot vacuums are becoming a bit like cars: with all the features, upgrades, and fancy trimmings available these days, it’s easy to forget that they can just be simple machines that get us from point A to point B. Yes, some bots blow hot air on their bums (mop pads), deftly navigate dog poop, and have arms to pick up your socks, but there are plenty of basic budget robot vacuums that just do a decent job of cleaning your floor autonomously — as long as you tidy up first. Fancier models have obstacle recognition, and some even use AI-powered cameras to tell popcorn from poop and avoid the latter. If you want one of those, check out my best robot vacuum buying guide. But if you think you can manage the task of picking up after yourself (and your puppy), a budget bot will save you a lot of money and still do a good job cleaning your floor. Best budget robot vacuum and mop Tapo RV30 Max Plus A budget robot vacuum and mop with high-end features, including room-specific cleaning, carpet boost, and smart navigation, it also features an auto-empty dock for just $80 more. Score: 8 ProsCons Cheap, even with the auto-empty dock A dual mop and dustbin means no swapping Room-specific cleaning Carpet boost Short battery life Slow to recharge Docking can be spotty Basic obstacle detection Where to Buy: $329.99 $189.99 at TP-Link (with code WEEKLY60OFFRV) $329.99 $179.99 at Amazon Suction power: 5,300Pa / Dustbin capacity: 300ml / Self-empty dock option: Yes / Mopping option: Yes / Mapping: Yes, lidar / Keep-out zones: Yes, virtual / Runtime: 100 mins, 2,600mAh battery/ Brush style: Single rubber bristle hybrid / Works with: Amazon Alexa, Google Home For around $300, TP-Link’s Tapo RV30 Max Plus is a very capable robot vacuum and mop with some key features typically found only on vacuums that are more than twice its price. These include room-specific cleaning, multiple suction and water levels, smart lidar-based navigation, and an auto-empty dock. Thanks to lidar navigation, the RV30 did an excellent job of navigating my house, cleaning the perimeters of the rooms, and then using a mesh grid to clean inside the rooms. I did have to tidy up before it ran, though, as there’s no camera on board or AI-powered obstacle detection — so cables and socks will trip it up. Its 5,200Pa suction power is impressive on a bot at this price, and ably sucked up Cheerios and dry oatmeal on hard flooring. It left some of the finer dust and debris, as its single bristle / rubber brush isn’t super effective. It fared less well on carpet. However, in the app, I could set it to clean a room three times for each job, after which it generally picked up all visible debris. Mopping was better than average for a mop with no pressure or oscillation. It has a wide mop pad, and the bot has a big 300ml tank (which also incorporates a 300ml dustbin), so it applies enough water for a good surface clean. Another unique feature for a budget robot is the ability to set customized cleaning for each room, choosing from five suction levels and three water levels as well as three rotations. The Tapo app is very simple to use, with an easy-to-edit map that lets you add virtual walls and no-go zones, add furniture, and designate carpet areas. There’s no carpet sensing, so you need to tell it where carpets are if you don’t want it to mop them. You can also set the cleaning direction and build up to four maps — again, features usually only found on higher-end robots. 5,200Pa suction power is impressive on a bot at this price It’s also easy to start a clean from the app, and I really like that you can tap on the map to send the robot to that spot. The biggest downside of the Tapo is its tiny battery, which is just 2,600mAh. That is half the size of most vacs, and it couldn’t clean my entire 800-square-foot downstairs without needing to go back and recharge. It also takes a while to charge and occasionally has trouble repositioning itself on its dock. You can get the RV30 without the auto-empty dock for around $80 less if you prefer an even simpler robot vacuum setup. This way, it will fit under a couch or bed, but you’ll have to manually empty its bin. Best upgrade budget vacuum Roborock Q10 S5 A more expensive budget robot vacuum and mop that adds AI-powered obstacle avoidance, more suction power, better mopping and longer runtime Where to Buy: $399.99 $269.99 at Roborock $399.99 $269.99 at Amazon $549.99 $399.99 at Roborock (w/auto-empty dock) Suction power: 10,000Pa / Dustbin capacity: 600ml / Runtime: 150 mins, 5200 mAh / Brush style: single bristle / rubber hybrid / Auto-empty dock option: yes / Mapping: yes / Keep-out zones: yes / Works with: Amazon Alexa, Google Home, Siri Shortcuts Roborock’s Q10 S5 is a step up from the Tapo RV30, thanks to double the suction power, a much larger battery and longer runtime, AI-powered obstacle avoidance, and the ability to automatically detect carpet. It also has a vibrating mopping system that does a better job at scrubbing your floors, and it can lift its mop up to 8mm to pass over low-pile carpets. It has a more advanced lidar-based mapping and navigation system, which, like the Tapo, lets you set specific rooms to clean, create no-go zones, and customize cleaning schedules. But unlike the Tapo, it moves more intelligently around the house and is less prone to getting stuck. However, the robot vacuum alone costs more than the Tapo with the auto-empty base. If you upgrade to the Q10 S5 Plus, which includes an auto-empty base, you’re looking at over $500. It is frequently on sale, however, which makes it worth considering if you want a budget bot with better vacuuming and mopping. One downside is that the bot is much larger and wider than the Tapo, so it may not fit into some tighter spaces. The Roborock app is more fully featured than Tapo’s, giving you lots of options for almost infinite customization. Best budget vacuum-only bot Shark Navigator RV2120 A solid vacuum-only bot with big wheels, a big bin, and good runtime. It uses lidar for navigation and mapping so you can set keep-out zones and clean specific rooms, plus there’s a version with an auto-empty dock. Where to Buy: $299.99 $249.99 at Amazon $299.99 at Shark Suction power: unknown / Dustbin capacity: 500ml / Runtime: 120 mins / Brush style: single bristle / rubber hybrid / Auto-empty dock option: yes / Mapping: yes / Keep-out zones: yes / Works with: Amazon Alexa, Google Home The Shark Navigator RV2120 is a basic vacuum-only bot that’s a step up from my previous Shark pick, the Shark Ion, thanks to lidar navigation. This means it can map your home without bumping and rolling around blindly like the Ion. Mapping lets you send it to clean specific rooms and add keep-out zones to prevent it from going where you don’t want it to. There are no bells and whistles like AI-powered obstacle detection or room-specific cleaning settings, but the RV2120 does the basics well. It has a nice big bin, a simple app experience, decent battery life, and good repairability. It’s also fairly bullish, pushing through fabric skirting to go under beds and sofas, something not all lidar bots will do. It is very loud and rattly, even at its lowest power level. Unlike many budget bots, it uses a hybrid roller brush that’s both bristle and plastic and doesn’t get as tangled as standard bristle brushes. But the best thing ‘bout this bot is its tank-like wheels that will roll right over anything in its path, including high transitions between rooms, obstacles like lounger chair legs, and other furniture traps that regularly stump other bots. The Shark RV2120AE model includes an auto-empty dock. I love that Shark’s auto-empty docks don’t require replacement dust bags — which saves money in the long run. However, the RV2120AE is more expensive than the Tapo RV30, even after factoring in the cost of bags for the latter. One benefit of Shark vacuums to consider over the Tapo is that they’re very repairable. You can buy replacement parts for almost everything on the bot, unlike with the Tapo. Best budget robot vacuum without Wi-Fi Eufy 11S Max The Eufy 11S Max is a super slim, repairable bump-and-roll bot with a large 600ml bin and three cleaning levels. Its biggest selling point for some, however, is that it lacks Wi-Fi, meaning you don’t have to fiddle with an app. Score: 8 ProsCons Big bin Slim profile Avoids obstacles Quiet Easily repairable No mapping No keep-out zones Small battery Where to Buy: $279.99 $159.99 at Amazon $279.99 $159.99 at Walmart $279.99 at eBay Suction power: 2,000Pa / Dustbin capacity: 600ml / Runtime: 100 mins / Brush style: single bristle / rubber hybrid / Auto-empty dock option: no / Mapping: no / Keep-out zones: no / Works with: n/a The Eufy 11S Max is a rarity — a robot vacuum that doesn’t use Wi-Fi at all. There’s not even an app. Instead, you just press the button, and off it trundles. It also comes with a remote if you’d rather not get up off the couch, and you can use that to program it to clean at a specific time. The 11S is super slim, 72.5mm high, with no lidar tower, so it will get under most couches. It has a big 600ml bin, and I was very impressed with how much it got up off my hardwood floors, even with its relatively small 2,000Pa of suction. There are three cleaning levels, and at the lowest, it registers around 55db, which is quiet enough to run in a home office. It does have a smallish battery — only 100 minutes of runtime — but it will go back and recharge. For $200, this is the perfect budget bot for those wary of or who don’t want to deal with an app or Wi-Fi. It’s a bump-and-roll bot, meaning there are no real navigation skills. But it has plenty of replaceable parts, including the battery and wheels, so you can keep it going for a long time. Other budget robot vacuums to consider The $399.99 Switchbot K11 Plus is a great option for small spaces. Its tiny size lets it navigate around tight areas with ease, and it even comes with a pint-sized charging dock. It offers 6,000Pa suction and does a good job of cleaning up both carpets and hardwood floors. Just note that its mopping is more of a light wipe than a true scrub, and there’s no AI-powered obstacle avoidance. The $310 Dreame D20 Plus is an upgrade to my previous pick for best budget mopping robot, the $239.99 Dreame D10 Plus. We’ve not tested it yet, but it doubles the suction power to 13,000Pa, and its included auto-empty dock has a larger dust bag. The D20 also has a bigger water tank and adds the option to adjust the water flow and suction power. Update, January 27th: Adjusted pricing and availability. Added new picks, including the Shark Navigator RV2120 and Roborock Q10 S5. Sheena Vasani also contributed to this post.
