The TikTok Ban, CNN 2025/1/19

TikTok appears to be coming back online just hours after President-elect Donald Trump pledged Sunday that he would sign an executive order Monday to save the banned app.

Around 12 hours after first shutting itself down, US users began to have access to TikTok on a web browser and in the app.

The whiplash move to bring the app back comes after TikTok became unusable for Americans late Saturday night. Users who tried to open the app at that time were met with a message saying it was offline and asking users to “stay tuned.” 

TikTok’s restoration will be welcome news for the app’s 170 million American users, many of whom use the app for hours every day to find news, entertainment and community and, in some cases, to make a living, after weeks of uncertainty.

And it signaled that Trump may be poised to score a major political victory by claiming responsibility for bringing back the popular platform.
