TikTok recently finalized its deal to become <b data-path-to-node=\"4\" data-index-in-node=\"81\">&#8220;TikTok USDS&#8221;<\/b> (a new US-based entity) to comply with government requirements.<\/p>\n<ul data-path-to-node=\"5\">\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"5,0,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"5,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">What&#8217;s happening:<\/b> They are currently migrating data and retraining the algorithm on US servers (Oracle).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"5,1,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"5,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">The Result:<\/b> This has broken the &#8220;upload pipeline&#8221; for millions of users.

If you see a red dot or a notification about &#8220;Terms&#8221; or &#8220;Account Updates,&#8221; click it and accept the new terms.
