After U.S. Blackout TikTok Returns
Following a 14-hour black-out TikTok has returned. Last week the Supreme Court upheld a law that banned the service nationwide unless it splits from ByteDance, its China-based owner, according to NPR.
Days ago, on Saturday, Google and Apple removed the app from their stores, which was a requirement of the ban. The ban also forbids web-hosting companies from providing “back-end support to the app,” per NPR.
President-elect Donald Trump reportedly reversed the black-out on Sunday morning when he posted on his Truth Social social network. His post included a statement noting his plans to pause the law. “The order will also confirm that there will be no liability for any company that helped keep TikTok from going dark before my order,” he declared.
