California Governor Gavin Newsom accused TikTok of suppressing content critical of President Trump, prompting a review to determine if state law was violated. TikTok attributed the issue to a systems failure caused by a data center power outage. The accusation comes after TikTok’s parent company, ByteDance, finalized a deal to secure U.S. data through a majority U.S.-owned joint venture.
