Tiktok shut down after bytedance's promise not to enforce the ban and leave the decision to his successor donald trump.
After being sworn into office "today," the then-president-elect trump announced on truth social, a website that he owns, that he would sign an executive order on monday 20 january, the first day.
Mao ning, the spokesperson for china's ministry of foreign affairs, asked people to extend the period of time before the law's prohibitions go into place, rather than selling it entirely to an american owner.
When considering a chinese firm, the biden criticized the shutdown as a result of trump's comment, who replied that china's position on any acquisition and merger is that it should follow market principles and regulations, not china's.
However, tiktok's services were still unavailable before tiktok's return to service, but it appeared that the shutdown and resuming of operations were not as important as tiktok's deadline.
One tiktok shop merchant in china visited the senior management of tiktok shop in shanghai and was assured that the blackout would be temporary and tiktok will reopen its us service at "a suitable time." tiktok had issued an internal notice regarding the timeframe of the platform's return online in america, 20 january (which was the actual date tiktok returned to work after 14 hours) but also later dates at the end of the campaign.
With other bytedance applications such as capcut, lemon8, and lark closing down on january 19th, it would appear that the pre-emptive shutdown on 19 january was part of tiktok's leverage in the united states' continuing battle.
According to the most recent survey, tiktok, which includes bytedance, is ready to forego any data-collection services as the company's largest shareholder continues to operate in the united states.
