TikTok announced that it is restoring its service in the United States after receiving assurances from President-elect Donald Trump. The company said it is working in agreement with its service providers to reinstate access to over 170 million U.S. users. TikTok had gone dark in the U.S. on Saturday following concerns over a federal ban. President-elect Trump pledged to issue an executive order on Monday to delay the ban on the app. In a statement and a message to users, TikTok thanked Trump for providing the necessary clarity and assurance to their service providers, ensuring they will face no penalties for continuing to offer TikTok.
