Video app calls US president-elect's stance 'a strong stand for the First Amendment and against arbitrary censorship'
After going "dark" earlier Sunday, TikTok announced it was in the process of restoring services to its US users following assurances from President-elect Donald Trump.
"In agreement with our service providers, TikTok is in the process of restoring service," the app said on X after Trump promised to take executive action and "save" the popular video platform following the implementation of a federal ban.
"We thank President Trump for providing the necessary clarity and assurance to our service providers that they will face no penalties providing TikTok to over 170 million Americans and allowing over 7 million small businesses to thrive," it added.
Calling Trump's stance a "strong stand for the First Amendment and against arbitrary censorship," the app vowed to work with the incoming president on "a long-term solution that keeps TikTok in the United States."
