Headline: UNCAPTIONED: TikTok Returns in U.S. After Brief Shutdown, Trump Promises Long-Term Solution
Caption: TikTok Returns in U.S. After Brief Shutdown, Trump Promises Long-Term Solution. Around 12 hours after being shut down in the U.S., TikTok is back online, with the company crediting President-elect Donald Trump for saving the app. TikTok welcomed users back with a notification saying, "Thanks for your patience and support. As a result of President Trump’s efforts, TikTok is back in the U.S.!” Late Saturday night, TikTok users were met with a message stating the app was offline due to a U.S. law banning its operations. Early Sunday, Trump announced plans to issue an executive order to delay the TikTok ban, paving the way for the app’s swift return. The app’s return was a relief to its 170 million U.S. users, who rely on TikTok for entertainment, news, and income. TikTok thanked Trump for providing "clarity and assurance" to service providers, allowing the platform to continue operating in the U.S. TikTok CEO Shou Chew plans to attend Trump’s inauguration and a "Make America Great Again" rally in Washington, D.C. Trump intends to negotiate a deal to protect TikTok’s U.S. operations, potentially creating a joint venture with ByteDance and a new American owner. Some Republican lawmakers oppose the ban delay, insisting on severing TikTok’s ties to China for national security reasons. The brief blackout left influencers and users reflecting on the platform’s cultural impact, with many celebrating its return after just 13 hours.
