Say what? I thought the new "owners" of TikTok know how to run a data center - or is this a case of shit happens?

TikTok said a power outage at a U.S. data center on Jan 25‑26 caused "technical issues" with <580K outages/usage issues reported in 24 hours. Users report inability to upload content, and seeing old content in their feeds.

As of today, Jan 27, TikTok says the network has been recovered and they are working with the data center partner to “stabilize” service and fully resolve the major infrastructure issues. https://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/news/2026/01/27/tiktok-down-not-working-outage-update/88374983007/ #TikTok #TikTokDeal #DataCenterOutage #Outage #ByteDance #DataCenter
