TikTok Resumes Service in the US
Chinese social media platform TikTok has reopened its service in the US after facing a ban due to security concerns and potential sale to an American company.
US TikTok users were greeted with a 'Welcome back' message, thanking them for their patience and support during the reestablishment process. The app assured users that they can continue creating, sharing, and exploring content they love.
The decision to reopen TikTok in the US came after negotiations with service providers, ensuring compliance with US laws and regulations. The move was also seen as a response against arbitrary censorship.
TikTok's statement expressed gratitude towards President Donald Trump for providing clarity and assurance to service providers, allowing the platform to continue serving over 170 million American users and supporting the growth of more than 7 million small businesses.
The announcement highlighted the intention to work with President Trump towards a long-term solution to ensure TikTok's presence in the US. Trump, on the other hand, hinted at extending the deadline for TikTok's ban on Monday through an upcoming executive order.
