TikTok investigating why some users can't write "Epstein" in messages

The TikTok logo is displayed outside TikTok social media app company offices in Culver City, California, on March 16, 2023.

The issue around the word "Epstein" comes as users experience outages and functionality problems since the popular video app was recently sold to a group of mostly U.S. investors, including Trump ally Larry Ellison.
