TikTok has announced the restoration of its services in the United States after reaching a critical agreement with its service providers. The platform extended its gratitude to President-elect Donald Trump for providing the necessary clarity and assurance to its service providers, ensuring they would not face penalties for supporting TikTok’s operations.
This development secures TikTok’s continued availability to over 170 million Americans and sustains opportunities for more than 7 million small businesses that rely on the platform. TikTok highlighted the significance of this decision as a victory for the First Amendment and a stand against arbitrary censorship.
“We are committed to working with President-elect Trump on a long-term solution to keep TikTok operating in the United States,” the company said in a statement.
As TikTok reaffirms its dedication to creativity, small business growth, and free expression, the platform moves forward in collaboration with policymakers to shape its future in the U.S.
