TikTok Restores US Services After Oracle Outage

TikTok's US operations restored normal service after Winter Storm Fern caused a power outage at an Oracle datacenter that disrupted "tens of thousands of servers." The incident, reported this week by TikTok USDS, follows the platform's transition to a US Data Security joint venture in which Oracle holds a 15% stake. It underscores infrastructure and financing pressures as Oracle seeks $45–50 billion to expand cloud capacity.
