"Larry Ellison’s TikTok has shut down the promotional account for Alex Gibney’s Elon Musk documentary." - Substack
Substack is reporting on the story above. It caught our attention because it may affect readers checking their internet or a specific service on SpeedTestTools right now.
When a profile or video disappears from a social platform without warning, it is easy to assume something went wrong with your phone or home internet. Many people run into blank loading screens or error messages and immediately wonder if their connection dropped or if the app itself is down. Knowing that platforms shut down accounts helps you avoid troubleshooting phantom network problems.
If you search for an account and hit a dead end, check the rest of your feed first. Try loading a different profile or opening a webpage on your browser. If other videos play and regular sites appear quickly, your Wi-Fi and data are working fine. There is no need to restart your router or reinstall the app when only one page refuses to load.
A missing account is usually a platform decision, not a broken connection. Checking another service first will save you from fixing a network problem that does not exist.
- Run a quick speed test — get concrete numbers before assuming it's your ISP.
- Open the Down Detector board to see which major services are actually having issues right now.
- If numbers look off, walk through the Fix-My-Internet checklist — most issues clear in the first two steps.
