TikTok glitches spark censorship fears as anti-ICE uploads stall

Several TikTok creators reported they could not upload anti-ICE videos or that uploads were delayed, with the company saying a power outage at a US data center caused glitches in uploading and video recommendations. The issues emerged as TikTok’s US ownership shifted to a private joint venture that includes Oracle, fueling worries about censorship and data access. Experts note that proving censorship is hard due to opaque recommendation systems, while some creators saw ongoing upload, caption, and view-count problems and even left the platform. TikTok stresses the glitches are unrelated to the ownership changes and says the problems are ongoing.
