NPR - TikTok is back online in the U.S. after going dark for around 14 hours on Saturday night. The blackout impacted 170 million American users and was lifted after Trump promised to issue an executive order to pause the federal ban once he is sworn in. However, the app isn’t quite back to normal yet.
Legal experts have questioned whether Trump can use an executive order as an end-run around a law Congress already passed, NPR’s Juliana Kim says. Trump said he wants his administration to have more time to work out a deal. The timeline to negotiate the deal is not clear,
but he told NBC News he is considering around 90 days. Since the ban,
Apple and Google haven’t allowed TikTok back in their app stores. New
users cannot download it, and the app can’t receive software updates to
fix bugs or other issues.
