"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. Users then speculated that these videos and terms may have been censored by the new TikTok USDS regime, 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."
"For those playing the "is TikTok US censoring content?" game at home, you'll now be able to get a better idea of such, with TikTok USDS JV (a catchy acronym if ever I've seen one) sharing an update on its ongoing systematic challenges, which it says have now been resolved. As a quick recap, a day after the TikTok US deal was announced, placing the management of TikTok's American business into the hands"
TikTok USDS JV reported that previously experienced systematic challenges have been resolved following management changes. After the U.S. deal shifted control to U.S. administrators, the app suffered random drop-outs, other service issues, and anomalies where some videos showed no rising view counts and certain keyword searches returned no results. These problems prompted user speculation that the new U.S. management was censoring content, and some users deactivated accounts citing overt censorship. TikTok USDS JV stated that the issues were due to retraining and updating the content recommendation algorithm on U.S. user data and that the algorithm will be secured in Oracle’s U.S. cloud environment.
