  Since yesterday we've been working to restore our services following a power outage at a U.S. data center impacting TikTok and other apps we operate. We're working with our data center partner to stabilize our service. We're sorry for this disruption and hope to resolve it soon.

  so glad our american billionaires bought tiktok to do pro trump and pro israel propaganda and we no longer have to experience chinese style censorship!

  Megan Stalter says she's deleting TikTok after it wouldn't allow her to upload anything ICE-related: “Let's delete the app” [image]

  BREAKING: TIKTOK has been completely throttling most political posts since 24 hours ago, right after the deal closed where Trump allies took over the US portion of the platform. Any post I make about Alex Pretti receives between 0 and 1000 views. I have over 125,000 followers [im…

• @petertwinklage Peter Twinklage on x

  delete TikTok. Nazis now control the algorithm. the app is dead.

• @thetnholler @thetnholler on x

  UPDATE: TIKTOK IS COOKED. Our @tiktok_us videos went from tens of thousands to 0. (seemingly a direct result of Trump & Bibi's friends taking over) [image]

• @the_transit_guy Hayden on x

  Fascinating that TikTok, under CCP ownership, saw less censorship than American billionaire Trump donors.

• @guychristensen_ YourFavoriteGuy on x

  I cannot post on TikTok. All my videos are stuck at 0 views. Seems to be a site-wide problem. [image]

• @rnaudbertrand Arnaud Bertrand on x

  Turns out that freedom of speech was when TikTok was Chinese.

• @actingliketommy @actingliketommy on x

  Trump's buddies have had TikTok for one day and it's already broken as shit.

• @keitholbermann Keith Olbermann on x

  BREAKING: Correct. With no explanations. @tiktok_us has throttled or frozen individual videos criticizing ICE and simply disabled entire accounts whether the video pertains to ICE or not - and not even offered spurious explanations or notices #TikTokCensorship [image]

• @jules_su Jules Suzdaltsev on x

  the new TikTok algorithm has ZERO, and I mean absolutely ZERO news or politics content, not one word about anything going on at all, not even the weather

• @jonathanzliu Jonathan Liu on x

  every video i posted on tiktok today is stuck at 0 views. algo is terrible, showing me generic videos not in my niche. check the news. tiktok is down. holy fucking shit. [image]

• @gianmarcosoresi Gianmarco on x

  I just want to say that I have other videos recently uploaded to TikTok with no reference to anything political with zero views. I have little doubt the people running it are tweaking the algorithm in ways that suppress speech but also remember they're fucking idiots generally

• @jessicalburbank Jessica Burbank on x

  I'm not allowed to be a tik tokker anymore I guess???? Without explanation my videos are shown to 0 people now. [image]

• @mirrorbilllie @mirrorbilllie on x

  the fact that it says this video has 0 views and tiktok is completely silencing this is insane. it's terrifying and everyone should be very scared. [image]

• @henryhenryhenry.com C. Henry on bluesky

  sure, yeah, sure, multitude of reasons to take TikTok USDS at its word [embedded post]

• @nycsouthpaw @nycsouthpaw on bluesky

  Can't help but notice a lot of social media reports of Tik Tok censoring anti-ICE content in its first weekend under Trump-directed US management, and no mainstream news coverage thus far.

• @zackoryk Zackory Kirk on x

  Two days into the TikTok sale and it's already down? No new content has posted in 8 hours?

• @ryangrim Ryan Grim on x

  Tiktok out here recreating Threads. It's funny that we had to take it away from the Chinese Communist Party in order to turn it into a full on propaganda machine

• @shatired @shatired on x

  Idk, if tiktok actually takes away monetization I think it's pretty weird to celebrate some people losing their primary source of income in this economy because you don't think it's a “real job”

• @hoopztarot @hoopztarot on x

  Tik tok ads aren't currently labeled, neither are Tik tok shop vids. The algorithm is repeating vids you likely saw about 30 mins ago, the vids you're posting are getting no views. Oh they messed ts up baddd😭

• @palmediaorg @palmediaorg on x

  TikTok was more free under Chinese ownership:

• @hbendaas Hamid Bendaas on x

  A simple example of Democrats' complicity in Trump's authoritarianism would be that he proposed a TikTok ban in his first term, couldn't get the votes, and then under Biden Democrats passed it for him to quell their own voters' criticism about Gaza, and now Trump's lackeys run it

• @realupscrolled @realupscrolled on x

  Well, this is new... You showed up so fast our servers tapped out. Frustrating? Yes. Emotional? Also yes. We're a tiny team building what Big Tech stopped being. Right now we're scaling on caffeine to keep up with what YOU started. Bear with us. We're on it. [image]

• @guychristensen_ YourFavoriteGuy on x

  TikTok's been sold off to a surveillance billionaire. The algorithm is compromised and the censorship will only get worse. UpScrolled isn't perfect, but it's ours and it's where this movement goes next. Spread the word. Get on UpScrolled. [video]

• @paulbiggar Paul Biggar on x

  UpScrolled (@realUpScrolled) is blowing up due to the Tiktok ban - #2 in the US right now. It's ethical social media: no shadowbans, no algorithmic bullshit, no controls on your feed, not designed for addiction, doesn't sell your data. Get it in the app stores! [image]

• @guychristensen_ YourFavoriteGuy on x

  TikTok users are fleeing to a new upstart social media called UpScrolled after Larry Ellison purchased the platform. UpScrolled is founded by a Palestinian and promises no censorship and no billionaires. Yesterday, it broke into the top 15 most downloaded apps. Come join us! [ima…

• @shaykhsulaiman Sulaiman Ahmed on x

  I posted the same video on TikTok and Upscrolled After 5 hours the video on TikTok is still being processed. On Upscrolled it already has over 350 likes. Upscrolled is the future. [image]

• @realupscrolled @realupscrolled on x

  We left you alone for 24 hours. You told someone. They told someone. They told everyone. #11 US 🇺🇸 #12 UK 🇬🇧 #14 AUS 🇦🇺 Time to scroll differently. [image]

• @taylorlorenz Taylor Lorenz on bluesky

• @ecmclaughlin Elizabeth Cronise McLaughlin on bluesky

  Buncha organizers and political commentators are hopping onto Upscrolled, a social media platform founded by a Palestinian Australian in the wake of censorship or genocide and anti-Trump sentiment on Meta and TikTok.  —  I'm there now.  Just getting started.  [image]

• @teroterotero Tero Kuittinen on x

  UpScrolled just passed TikTok in US downloads after the extent of censorship of the new TikTok owners became apparent. Safe to say nobody realized how crude and overwhelming the clampdown on certain content on TikTok would be. They went Khmer Rouge from day one. [image]

• @mikeisaac Rat King on x

  someone in tech please correct me if i'm wrong, but “our data center power outage is inadvertently limiting the reach of your ICE posts” does not scan to me

• r/technology r on reddit

  TikTokers are heading to UpScrolled following US takeover

• @marypcbuk Mary Branscombe on bluesky

  it's entirely possible that this is true and it takes time for algorithm changes to be coded; but I have so little faith in Oracle that my immediate reaction was an internal ‘sure, Jan’ [embedded post]

• @washingtonpost.com @washingtonpost.com on bluesky

  TikTok users say the platform suppressed or delayed videos about the killing of Alex Pretti, accusing that posts tied to the incident drew few views or were stalled amid broader technical issues on the site.

• @teroterotero Tero Kuittinen on x

  UpScrolled is racing up the US download charts as TikTok censorship backlash picks up momentum. It's already Number 2 social media app in the country. Cannot keep up the momentum? [image]

• @pkafka Peter Kafka on x

  @MikeIsaac TT was 100% fucked up yesterday. All the ice posts were gone but so was everything else I normally got. Instead I mostly got videos about how great corvettes were. If it was a censorship plot it wasn't executed well. Also everything was back to normal today.
