Following its recent ownership transition, TikTok has come under scrutiny for alleged censorship of content critical of Trump and discussions surrounding ICE. California Governor Gavin Newsom has initiated an investigation into these claims, particularly focusing on whether the platform is suppressing anti-Trump videos. Users, including celebrities, have reported difficulties posting content related to these topics, sparking accusations of censorship. In response, TikTok has attributed various technical issues, including a significant data center outage, to glitches affecting its U.S. app. Meanwhile, the company maintains that it is actively working to address the problems and push back against claims of content suppression.
