Tiktok is officially back. The app reappeared for both iOS App Store And Google Play Store On the late Thursday evening, complete with all ratings and download counts before it was removed.
Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman first reported the story. Apple and Google both Tikok in January removed from app storeslike that The protection of the Americans from the law on controlled laws of foreign opponents Threatens to every company that distributes, managed or updated the app with strong financial punishments.
Although he was led to ban Tiktok during his first administration, President Trump signed an executive order last month The Ministry of Justice prove that the law is not enforced for 75 days. On Thursday, Attorney General Pam Bondi sent the US Attorney General Apple and Google letters in which they assured that this was still the case. After this confirmation, Tiktok returned.
Just because you can now download Tiktok on your iPhone or Android device again does not mean that the ban is over. The law is still standing and the ban is currently in force – even if the current Ministry of Justice does not enforce it. The government has to find out a plan from here. It is not even clear whether Trump has the authority to delay the enforcement of the ban, but here we are. This delay will end in April. At this point we will see again whether the government is acting or the can continues to step along the street.
The original intention of the law was to force Bytedance to sell Tikok’s parent company to an American company. There were many competitors in this room: Microsoft and Oracle are floating among the organizations to take over the purchase and even report China considered selling Elon Musk himself. Trump has signaled that the USA could buy TikKok directly about a sovereign asset fund that he has instructed to plan Finance Minister Scott Besser.
Whatever happens in the future, the fact that Tikkok can be officially downloaded into app stores in the USA after a turbulent four weeks –No need to use alternative means.
