TikTok Back Online in the U.S. After Trump Delays Ban for 90 Days

After a brief shutdown on Saturday, TikTok is back online in the United States following President-elect Donald Trump’s decision to delay the ban for up to 90 days. The app had been inaccessible due to a law passed in 2024 requiring its Chinese parent company, ByteDance, to sell it to a U.S.-owned company. On Saturday, January 19th, it returned to both the Apple and Google Play stores.

TikTok’s reactivation followed the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to uphold the ban, citing national security concerns. The law mandates that ByteDance sell TikTok or face a U.S. ban. Critics have raised alarms over the app’s data collection, including location tracking and device information, fearing potential Chinese government interference.

Despite these concerns, TikTok made a last-ditch effort to remain operational in the U.S. Before the shutdown, the company announced its optimism for a potential resolution, with a message indicating that Trump’s incoming administration would work on a solution. “We are fortunate that President Trump has indicated that he will work with us on a solution to reinstate TikTok once he takes office,” the message read.

Trump, who had previously expressed concerns about TikTok’s ties to China, opted to delay the ban for a 90-day period to allow more time for negotiations. “It’s a very big situation,” Trump said in a phone interview with NBC News. His administration’s decision will offer an opportunity to explore potential alternatives, including a possible sale of the app to the U.S.-owned company or changes to its data policies.

The decision to extend the deadline comes as a relief to many users, especially influencers and small businesses that rely heavily on the platform for marketing and engagement. However, the path forward remains uncertain, with ongoing legal and political discussions surrounding the future of the app. While the Biden administration had indicated that enforcement of the law would be deferred to the next administration, the White House dismissed TikTok’s shutdown as a “stunt,” stating it would not take action before Trump’s inauguration.

As discussion continues, TikTok’s U.S. presence appears safe for now, but the ultimate resolution remains in the hands of the incoming administration.
