On Thursday evening Apple and Google restored Tik Tok to their respective app stores in the U.S. The Companies have also restored other apps owned by Tik Tok’s parent company, ByteDance, the video editor CapCut and social media app Lemon8 that they had removed to comply with the law.
Former U.S. President Joe Biden Last year passed a law that called on ByteDance to sell Tik Tok’s U.S. operations to a company that wasn’t owned by a Chinese entity by january 19, 2025 or be banned from the country.
But right after current U.S. President Donald Trumph signed an executive order aimed at restoring Tik Tok Service in the U.S.
Trump’s move comes on the heels of a U.S. supreme Court decision to uphold the PAFACA, which passed with bipartisan congressional support during former President Joe Biden’s term
