TikTok Restores Service For U.S Users

TikTok says it’s restoring service to users in the United States just hours after the popular video-sharing platform went dark in response to a federal ban. The announcement on X came after President-elect Donald Trump said on Sunday that he planned to pause the ban by executive order on his first day in office. Trump says the order would give TikTok’s China-based parent company more time to find an approved buyer. Millions of U.S. TikTok users were unable to access the TikTok app and platform starting late Saturday. But by Sunday afternoon, a message greeted those who signed on thanking them — and the president-elect — for their support.
