Your support makes all the difference. Read more The Chinese-owned social media app TikTok has hailed “President Trump’s efforts” as it confirmed it is back online in the U.S. following a brief shutdown.
TikTok went offline in the U.S. at about 10.30 p.m. Eastern time on Saturday before the ban went into effect on January 19.
But on Sunday morning President-elect Donald Trump intervened and vowed to issue an executive order on Monday in a bid to get TikTok back online again.
When users logged in to the app on Sunday afternoon, they were greeted by the message: “Welcome back! Thanks for your patience and support. As a result of President Trump’s efforts, TikTok is back in the U.S.!”
However, the app remained unavailable for redownload for many users in app stores as of Sunday late afternoon.
The company behind the app released a statement crediting the president-elect for “providing clarity” to tech companies.
“We thank President Trump for providing the 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,” TikTok said.
During his first administration, Trump pushed for a ban on the app over national security concerns.
4 days ago How do Americans feel about the TikTok ban? Surprisingly, Republicans are more likely to support a ban of TikTok despite Donald Trump’s favorable stance toward the app.

5 days ago Recap: How did TikTok end up in this position? The possibility of the U.S. outlawing TikTok kept influencers and users in anxious limbo during the four-plus years that lawmakers and judges debated the fate of the video-sharing app. Now, the moment its fans dreaded is here, but uncertainty over TikTok’s future lingers.
On Friday, the Supreme Court upheld a federal law that bans the immensely popular, trend-setting social media platform starting Sunday unless its China-based parent company, ByteDance Ltd., sells to an approved buyer.
The unanimous decision ended a legal battle that pitted national security concerns against free speech rights. TikTok, ByteDance and some of the devoted users who rely on the platform for entertainment, income and community argued the statute violated the First Amendment. The Biden administration sought to show ByteDance’s ownership and control of TikTok posed an unacceptable threat.
The Supreme Court ruling, however, is not guaranteed to end the TikTok saga, which has become enveloped in the wider battle between Beijing and Washington. A Biden administration official told The Associated Press on Thursday that the outgoing administration would leave the law’s implementation — and potential enforcement — to President-elect Donald Trump.

5 days ago Was the whole TikTok drama a bait-and-switch to make Trump look good? Skeptics have highlighted how Trump was the one who initially called for the controversial Chinese-owned social media app to be banned in 2020. But since Trump’s following on TikTok grew — he has now amassed 14.8 million followers — and he hinted it helped to clinch the election, the president-elect has changed his tune.
“I have a warm spot in my heart for TikTok because I won youth by 34 points,” Trump said in December. “And there are those that say TikTok had something to do with that.”

5 days ago How did we get here? Efforts to ban TikTok resurfaced in Congress early last year, and quickly gained bipartisan support among lawmakers who voiced about the potential for the platform to surveil and manipulate Americans.
The legislation the Supreme Court upheld passed the House and the Senate in April after it was included as part of a high-priority $95 billion package that provided foreign aid to Ukraine and Israel. President Joe Biden quickly signed it, and the two companies and a group of content creators quickly sued.
A lower court upheld the statute in early December. The legislation gave ByteDance nine months from the enactment date to sell TikTok, and a possible three-month extension if a sale was in progress.

5 days ago Trump called for TikTok ban in 2020 Trump said the U.S. “must take aggressive action against TikTok” in 2020.
On August 6, 2020, Trump issued an executive order to impose sanctions on TikTok.
“The United States must take aggressive action against the owners of TikTok to protect our national security,” Trump said in the order.
It called for ByteDance, TikTok’s Chinese parent company, to divest its U.S. interests or face sanctions.
The order warned that TikTok’s data collection “threatens to allow the Chinese Communist Party access to Americans’ personal and proprietary information — potentially allowing China to track the locations of federal employees and contractors, build dossiers of personal information for blackmail and conduct corporate espionage.”
Trump’s effort to ban the app was then blocked by a federal judge. The judge ruled he had exceeded his authority and President Biden revoked the ban in 2021, before Congress considered bringing in new legislation.

5 days ago Instagram takes advantage of TikTok ban and launches new video editing product Instagram has taken advantage of the uncertainty surrounding the TikTok ban and launched its own video-editing product called Edits.
“Today we’re announcing a new app called Edits for those of you who are passionate about making videos on your phone,” Adam Mosseri, head of Instagram said in a video statement on the app. “There’s a lot going on right now, but no matter what happens, it’s our job to provide the best possible tools for creators.”
Mosseri said that Edits is “more than a video editing app.”
“There will be a dedicated tab for inspiration, another for keeping track of early ideas, a much higher-quality camera (which I used to record this video), all the editing tools you’d expect, the ability to share drafts with friends and other creators, and — if you decide to share your videos on Instagram — powerful insights into how those videos perform,” he added.

5 days ago Elon Musk: ‘I’ve been against a TikTok ban for a long time' Elon Musk has weighed in on the TikTok ban drama, adding that he has been against it for “a long time.”
“I have been against a TikTok ban for a long time, because it goes against freedom of speech,” he said on Sunday on X.
“That said, the current situation where TikTok is allowed to operate in America, but 𝕏 is not allowed to operate in China is unbalanced. Something needs to change.”
