In a surprising turn of events, TikTok has been restored in the United States just hours after a federal ban took effect. The sudden reversal came after President-elect Donald Trump announced an executive order to extend the deadline, allowing TikTok’s Chinese parent company, ByteDance, more time to find an approved buyer.
The popular video-sharing platform, which had been inaccessible to millions of American users since Saturday, is now back online. In a statement, TikTok thanked Trump for providing the necessary assurances to its service providers, ensuring they would face no penalties for restoring the service.
This move marks a significant shift from Trump’s previous stance on TikTok, which he had sought to ban during his first term over national security concerns. However, in a recent rally, Trump expressed his support for the app, stating, “We have to save it!”
The restoration of TikTok has been met with mixed reactions. While many users are thrilled to have their favorite app back, critics argue that the decision sets a concerning precedent for national security and data privacy.
As TikTok resumes service, the future of the app remains uncertain. The Biden administration has indicated that it believes TikTok should operate under American ownership, leaving the door open for further negotiations and potential changes in the coming months.
