TikTok Restores Services To The United States After Being Banned

Social media app, TikTok is resuming services to its 170 million users in the US, after President-elect Donald Trump said he would issue an executive order to give the app a reprieve when he takes office today Monday.

The multi-milliin dollar Chinese-owned app stopped working for American users, after a law banning it on national security grounds came into effect at the weekend.

However, Trump, who had previously backed a ban of the platform, promised yesterday to delay implementation of the law and allow more time for a deal to be made.

Soon after, the app started working again and in a statement, the company thanked the incoming president for “providing the necessary clarity and assurance” while promising to work with him “on a long-term solution that keeps TikTok in the United States”.
