TikTok US has pushed back against claims of censoring content after its separation from its global operations, attributing reported issues to technical glitches. However, California Governor Gavin Newsom has announced an investigation into allegations of the platform suppressing content critical of the Trump administration.

• Thousands of users reported glitches and "zero views" on new posts after TikTok US became a separate American entity last week.
• TikTok denied claims that the name "Epstein" was censored, clarifying there are no rules against using it in direct messages.
• Governor Gavin Newsom’s office stated it received and independently confirmed reports of TikTok suppressing content critical of President Donald Trump following the app's sale to a Trump-aligned business group.
• The investigation will probe whether TikTok US has violated California's laws regarding content suppression.
