📱 TikTok lovers, brace yourselves! Oracle, the primary cloud computing provider for TikTok's U.S. operations, is prepping to shut down servers hosting U.S. TikTok data as early as 9 p.m. ET on Saturday (0200 GMT on Sunday). 😱
This move comes ahead of a U.S. law banning the app from Sunday, as reported by The Information. The shutdown could mean that millions of U.S. users might lose access to their favorite dance and lip-sync videos, viral challenges, and more. 😔
What's the scoop? Oracle leaders have told staff to get ready for the potential shutdown, signaling a critical moment in the ongoing tech tensions. With the clock ticking, U.S. TikTok fans are left wondering if they'll wake up to a TikTok-less world. ⏰
Why is this happening? The U.S. government has raised concerns over data security and privacy, leading to the ban. Oracle's compliance indicates the seriousness of the situation. 🛑
What does this mean for you? If the shutdown proceeds, accessing TikTok in the U.S. might become impossible, halting the daily scroll through captivating content. However, the digital community is hopeful for a last-minute resolution. 🤞
Stay tuned for updates, and don't forget to save your favorite TikToks while you can! 🎵
