TikTok’s brief US ban has turned into a political drama rather than a national security issue. After being shut down and removed from app stores on Saturday due to a federal ban, the platform was restored on Sunday following an announcement by President-elect Donald Trump. Trump promised to pause the ban on his first day in office, giving ByteDance more time to find a US buyer.
TikTok’s return came with a message thanking Trump, though the app remained unavailable for download. Analysts suggest the ban and subsequent restoration boosted TikTok’s visibility while garnering political credit for Trump. Market experts described the situation as a calculated move benefiting both TikTok and the incoming president.
