"As a quick recap, a day after the TikTok US deal was announced, placing the management of TikTok's American business into the hands of a bunch of U.S. administrators, the app started acting up, suffering from random drop-outs and other service issues, which spooked American users. What's more, view counts on some videos weren't rising, with some videos getting no views at all, while some keyword searches appeared to be returning no results."
"and because the TikTok America team was essentially hand-picked by President Trump, some users even deactivated their accounts in response, citing overt censorship from the new management. But TikTok USDS JV says that this was not the case, explaining last Monday that: "The [US] Joint Venture will retrain, test, and update the content recommendation algorithm on U.S. user data. The content recommendation algorithm will be secured in Oracle's U.S. cloud environment.""
TikTok US experienced random drop-outs, stalled view counts and missing search results after U.S. management assumed control, prompting user alarm. Some videos registered no views while certain keyword searches returned no results, leading users to suspect censorship under the new TikTok USDS regime. Reports that the U.S. team was hand-picked by President Trump led some users to deactivate accounts citing overt censorship. TikTok USDS JV denied censorship, said the issues have been resolved, and announced plans to retrain, test and update the content recommendation algorithm on U.S. user data and secure it in Oracle's U.S. cloud.
