TikTok said on Tuesday that its app was facing technical problems after users accused the service of suppressing posts related to Immigration and Customs Enforcement following the shooting of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis.
TikTok’s US operations said in a statement Monday that a power outage at a US data centre had impeded users from uploading new videos.
Some TikTok users, including comedian Megan Stalter, have accused the app of blocking them from posting videos about ICE or limiting the reach of those videos.
The investors’ association with Mr Trump had raised concerns among some TikTok users that the new venture would slant the app’s content in a more conservative direction.
On Sunday, Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., reshared a post on X from before Mr Pretti was killed that accused TikTok of “censoring” content critical of Mr Trump and ICE.
