Apple and Google restored Tikokok at their app store in the United States on Thursday evening, several weeks later they removed the short-form video platform in compliance with a new law, which banned it in the country.
President Trump tried to implement the Tiktok ban with an executive order, but the companies were reluctant to bring back Tiktok until they were sure that they were breaking the law.
The law signed last year called a non-Chinese owner to sell the Chinese original company for bidens by 19 January to sell a non-Chinese owner to Tikok. The law targeted app store operators and internet hosting companies if they distribute or maintain. Tiktok.
Mr. Trump’s executive order inspired confusion among technology companies. While Apple and Google kept Tiktok out of their app store, companies like Oracle, who provided back-and technology support for the app, resumed working with it after a brief shutdown in January.
While Apple and Google blocked Tiktok’s new download, the app was largely unaffected if it was already downloaded on the American phone. Tiktok claims 170 million American users.
The return of the app on the store is a positive signal for Tikokok, which is now until the beginning of April to find a buyer. It is also a notable turnbut for the company. A month ago, it was facing a ban with widespread bilateral support in Congress. The law was unanimously retained by the Supreme Court – only was to be raised by Mr. Trump.
Ticketkok officials told video creators in a briefing call on Tuesday that it was optimistic that Apple and Google would soon restore the app, which is a ticket manufacturer and writer H. Lee Justin said, who were on call.
He said, “He said that the administration had given him a lot of information that he would not be punished and he was really hoping that any day now he would put it back in the app store,” he said in an interview. “It expects me to do so much that they felt that they could do so because it means that it means long -term issues are not going to happen and it will work.”
Tikkok refused to comment on its return to the app store or briefing.
