The US iteration of TikTok is once more facing challenges due to an Oracle outage, merely a month after recovering from a similar disruption in February.
The service interruption, affecting Oracle’s data center in Ashburn, Virginia, initiated early Tuesday afternoon, with Downdetector reporting a spike around 1 PM Eastern. TikTok USDS acknowledged in a message on X that users in the US “might temporarily face lags in uploading content as Oracle attempts to resolve the problem.”
This marks the second disruption experienced by TikTok in the US following a transaction in January that shifted majority control from the platform’s original owner, the Chinese firm ByteDance. The previous set of challenges occurred shortly after TikTok USDS, which includes Oracle, assumed control of the app in the US as part of that agreement. According to TikTok USDS, that earlier disruption was attributed to a power outage at an Oracle data facility.
