Many users noticed changes soon after. Reports say TikTok may be censoring political posts and sensitive words. CNBC found that messages with the word "Epstein" led to errors. CNN and BBC reported that videos about ICE agent brutality in Minnesota could not be uploaded. TikTok America called these technical problems.
