TikTok US is revealed to be experiencing service issues at present, and this is all because of Oracle, which is facing its second outage in a little over a month.

It has been revealed that users are encountering delays and lag issues while posting content on the platform.

It is known that Oracle has long been hosting TikTok's services and data storage, with the technology company best known for its massive stake in the US ownership of the platform.

TikTok US Service Disruption Is Due to Oracle Outage
