"It would be inaccurate to report that this is anything but the technical issues we've transparently confirmed. Users may notice bugs, slower load times or timed-out requests when posting new content due to the impact of the outage, the joint venture added. While the network has been recovered, the outage caused a cascading systems failure that we've been working to resolve, it said in the statement posted online before Newsom's remarks."
"Following TikTok's sale to a Trump-aligned business group, our office has received reports, and independently confirmed instances, of suppressed content critical of President Trump, Newsom's office said on X on Monday, without elaborating. Gavin Newsom is launching a review of this conduct and is calling on the California Department of Justice to determine whether it violates California law, it added."
California governor Gavin Newsom accused TikTok of suppressing content critical of Donald Trump and initiated a review to determine whether the platform's moderation violated California law. Newsom requested the California Department of Justice to investigate alleged suppression of Trump-critical posts, citing reports and independent confirmations after TikTok's sale to a Trump-aligned business group. TikTok's new majority US-owned joint venture blamed a data centre power outage and cascading systems failure for posting abnormalities, saying network recovery efforts are ongoing. The joint venture and ByteDance previously finalized a deal to secure US user data to avert a national ban on the app used by over 200 million Americans. Multiple users reported abnormalities and alleged censorship.
