This podcast write-up covers TikTok's move to American ownership and subsequent user-reported service issues—missing view counts and failed direct messages—that some users saw as censorship while TikTok blamed a U.S. data center power outage. The piece uses the event to explore wider concerns about corporate influence over social media, the potential for manipulation of information delivery, and what the changes mean for the openness of the internet.
