"Users began reporting problems with TikTok's app and website on Sunday. Many took to Reddit to say that they couldn't post and were unable to access their feeds, and when they could, they were finding garbage and unusual posts. Others posted that view counts were stuck at zero, suggesting something was definitely wrong days after a new majority American-owned joint venture was set up to operate key parts of TikTok's US business, following months of wrangling to get it out of Chinese hands."
""Since yesterday we've been working to restore our services following a power outage at a U.S. data center impacting TikTok and other apps we operate," the Joint Venture said. "We're working with our data center partner to stabilize our service. We're sorry for this disruption and hope to resolve it soon.""
Users experienced widespread problems with TikTok's app and website, including inability to post, inaccessible feeds, unusual content appearing, and view counts stuck at zero. The outage occurred shortly after a new majority American-owned joint venture was established to operate key parts of TikTok's US business, with Oracle, Silver Lake, and MGX backing the venture and ByteDance retaining a minority stake. The TikTok USDS Joint Venture attributed the disruption to a power outage at a U.S. datacenter and said it was working with its data center partner to stabilize service. Some users outside the US also reported issues, and a spokesperson did not answer whether a winter storm was related.
