TikTok outage exposes data-center woes and sweeping TOS privacy concerns

A power outage at a U.S. data center disrupted TikTok and CapCut, with users seeing uploads fail or receive zero views and load times worsen; TikTok’s USDS says recovery is underway and data remains safe, though some services may still glitch with no ETA for full restoration. Concurrently, TikTok updated its Terms of Service on Jan. 22 to expand data collection (including GPS, demographics, and other sensitive data), sparking privacy concerns and a California review led by Gov. Gavin Newsom as the company undergoes a US ownership transition involving Oracle.

TikTok updates ToS: location data, AI rules, and sensitive data under new U.S. ownership

TikTok’s January 2026 update to its Terms of Service and Privacy Policy accompanies its shift to a U.S.-based ownership structure. The changes largely preserve existing data practices but add explicit language about collecting precise location data (subject to user settings) and handling sensitive information (race, religion, immigration status, health) in line with laws like the CCPA. The policy also expands third-party advertising use of data and introduces a new AI section with labeling requirements and restrictions on generative AI tools. While some users fear expanded surveillance under the new ownership, TikTok says the updates comply with applicable privacy laws and reflect ongoing content-and-data governance updates.
