TikTok Resumes Services in the US After Trump's Statement

• Service resumption: TikTok resumed services for its 170 million users in the US after Trump announced a delay for the app when he takes office on Monday.

• Service disruption: On Sunday, the Chinese-owned app stopped working for American users, due to concerns that users' data could be accessed by Chinese authorities.

• Service restoration: TikTok stated it was in the process of "restoring the service" after the outage.

• Thanking Trump: The company thanked the elected president for providing clarity and assurances, mentioning it would work on a long-term solution to keep TikTok in the US.

• Trump's statement: In a Truth Social post, Trump stated he would issue an executive order to extend the period before the ban, allowing more time to negotiate national security concerns.

• Supreme Court and the law: The Supreme Court confirmed a law requiring TikTok's operations in the US to be sold to avoid a ban. The law took effect on Sunday.

• TikTok's popularity: The platform has millions of users in the US and has been an important tool for political campaigns targeting younger voters.

• Trump's stance: Trump had previously supported the TikTok ban but recently praised the platform, highlighting the billions of views his videos received during his presidential campaign.

• Legal implications: According to the April law, the American version of the app would be removed from app stores. TikTok argues that the law violates the freedom of speech of its users.
