"According to DownDetector, the issues spiked in the early hours of Sunday morning, but some users are still reporting errors. Many have found it impossible to upload videos, which sat "under review" indefinitely, and for one Verge writer that's still the case - a video uploaded last night has yet to go live on their page some six hours later."
"As of last week, TikTok's US operation is under the ownership of an investment consortium including Larry Ellison's cloud giant Oracle, the solution to its long-threatened US ban. This has already led to the imposition of new terms of service on US users, which include collection of more precise location data and details of users' AI interactions. The new owners also take control of US content moderation, which had sparked some to fear censorship even before this weekend's issues,"
Extensive technical problems affected TikTok following the sale of its US arm, with users reporting login failures, uploads stuck under review, a reset For You Page algorithm, broken comments, and other feature errors. DownDetector showed a spike in reports early Sunday, and some errors persisted for hours afterward. The US operation is now owned by a consortium including Oracle, prompting new US terms that collect precise location and AI interaction data and transfer US content moderation to the new owners. The app's algorithm must be retrained on US data. The timing prompted speculation about links to ownership and local protests, though there is no clear evidence of a direct connection so far.
