a year ago

TikTok began restoring access for U.S. users following Donald Trump's intervention amid the recent ban of the app in the U.S.

Restoration of TikTok Service

Some TikTok users in the U.S. have started regaining access to the platform after the temporary shutdown. Trump announced his intention to revive TikTok's access in the country starting on Monday.

Reasons Behind the Ban

TikTok was shut down following the enactment of a law banning the app due to national security concerns. Previously, TikTok fought against a bill signed by Biden that required ByteDance to divest its U.S. operations by January 19 or face a complete ban.

Market and User Reactions

Uncertainty about TikTok's future led users to seek alternative platforms, with Meta and Snap seeing stock increases due to potential user influxes. VPN searches spiked following the app's shutdown, and there were concerns about purchases through TikTok Shop.

Trump's involvement in TikTok's situation underscores how contentious tech restrictions can be, especially considering the economic and political influence of social media.
