TikTok US pushes back on claims it is censoring content

TikTok US is denying claims of censorship after users reported glitches and suppressed content following the platform's separation into an American entity last week. Users cited issues like "zero views" on posts and the inability to share content referencing "Epstein," leading to accusations of political censorship. TikTok attributes these problems to ongoing technical issues as it recovers its US infrastructure. However, California Governor Gavin Newsom has announced an investigation into these claims, specifically focusing on reports of suppressed content critical of President Trump. Newsom's office stated they have independently confirmed instances of censorship and will investigate potential violations of state laws.
