TIKTOK RESTORES SERVICE FOR AMERICAN USERS FOLLOWING TRUMP’S PLEDGE – TIKTOK said that it would work with Trump to find a long-term solution
Around 12 hours after going offline in the United States, TikTok was back to run again Sunday after President-elect Donald Trump vowed earlier the day to postpone the ban from taking effect.
In a statement posted on X Saturday night, the short video-sharing app announced that it had reached an agreement with its internet service providers and was “in the process of restoring service”. Both the app and website are now working again.
TikTok thanked Trump for providing “necessary clarity and assurance to our service providers that they will face no penalties providing TikTok to over 170 million Americans and allowing over 7 million small businesses to thrive”.
The company also said that it would work with Trump to find a long-term solution that would ensure the app’s normal operation in the United States.
