内容总结：

近日，TikTok美国业务因数据中心停电事故引发系统性故障，导致多项服务异常。大量用户反映无法正常登录、上传视频，推荐算法出现紊乱，信息流中重复推送泛化内容。此外，创作者端出现视频播放量及点赞数显示为零、应用内收益数据异常等问题。

TikTok官方声明称，停电引发“级联系统故障”，造成多项程序错误，但用户实际互动数据并未丢失。目前技术团队正与数据中心合作抢修，力求尽快恢复服务。

值得注意的是，此次故障发生前，TikTok刚完成美国业务拆分，成立由美资主导的独立运营实体。服务异常与业务重组时间点的重合，引发部分用户对平台隐私政策及算法调整的关切。此次推荐算法异常，也使新实体计划“重新训练”核心推荐功能的技术方案受到关注。

近日，TikTok美国数据中心因电力中断引发"级联系统故障"，导致平台出现多项异常。此次故障恰逢该公司刚完成将其美国业务剥离为独立实体的交易。

若您近期感觉TikTok信息流推送异常，这并非个例。TikTok表示，因一处美国数据中心停电导致应用程序出现"多重故障"，目前仍在全力修复服务。用户反馈称遭遇登录困难、视频上传受阻，且个性化推荐算法出现异常。内容创作者也注意到新上传视频的播放量与点赞数显示为零，应用内收益数据亦暂时消失。

该公司在1月26日的声明中写道："自昨日起，我们因美国数据中心停电影响TikTok及其他运营应用而持续进行服务恢复工作。正与数据中心合作伙伴共同稳定服务，对此造成的不便深表歉意，希望尽快解决问题。"

数小时后发布的后续更新说明指出，停电事故引发的"级联系统故障"仍在影响应用程序，导致包括播放量统计与加载时长在内的多重异常。"创作者可能暂时看到视频显示'0'播放量或点赞数，收益数据也可能显示异常。这属于服务器超时引发的显示错误，实际数据与互动记录均完好保存。"

该声明未直接回应用户关于推荐算法的异常报告。自周日以来，用户反映原本高度个性化的信息流中出现大量泛化内容推送，部分用户甚至遭遇相同视频重复刷屏现象。

值得注意的是，此次故障发生在TikTok刚完成美国业务剥离交易后数日。该交易将使美国业务成为由美资主导的独立实体。这个时间节点引发用户广泛关注，许多用户对交易完成后数小时内平台立即推送服务条款及隐私政策更新的行为已存疑虑。推荐算法故障也令业界对TikTok美国数据安全合资公司"重新训练"核心推荐功能的计划产生疑问。

A TikTok US power outage caused a 'cascading systems failure' leading to multiple bugs
The problems come just days after the company finalized a deal to spin off its US business.
If your TikTok feed has felt a little off lately, it's not just you. TikTok says is still working to fix its service in the US following a power outage at one of its data centers that's caused “multiple bugs” in the app. TikTok users have reported problems logging in and uploading videos, as well as strange behavior from the "for you" algorithm. Creators have also noticed that new uploads are seemingly getting o views or likes and that in-app earnings have disappeared.
"Since yesterday we’ve been working to restore our services following a power outage at a U.S. data center impacting TikTok and other apps we operate," the company wrote in a statement Monday. "We're working with our data center partner to stabilize our service. We're sorry for this disruption and hope to resolve it soon."

In a subsequent update several hours later, the company said that the power outage had caused a “cascading systems failure” that is still affecting the app and leading to “multiple bugs,” including those affecting view counts and load times. “Creators may temporarily see ‘0’ views or likes on videos, and your earnings may look like they're missing,” the company wrote in an update on X. “This is a display error caused by server timeouts; your actual data and engagement are safe.”

The statement didn’t directly address reported issues with the app’s recommendation algorithm. Since Sunday, users have reported seeing a wave of generic videos flood their feeds, which are typically hyper-personalized. Other users have reported seeing the same few videos repeated over and over again.
The issues come just days after TikTok finalized a deal to spin off its US business into a separate entity largely controlled by US investors. That timing hasn't gone unnoticed by users, many of whom are already suspicious of the company pushing a terms of service and privacy policy in the hours after the deal was finalized. The problems affecting the app's recommendation algorithm have also raised questions about TikTok USDS Joint Venture's plans to "retrain" TikTok's central feature.
Update, January 26, 2026, 4:18PM PT: This post has been updated to include additional information from TikTok about the outage and bugs affecting users.
