TIKTOK BAN LIFTED IN THE U.S: VICTORY FOR USERS AND CREATORS SO FAR
In a major turn of events, the TikTok ban has been officially lifted in the United States, just two hours ago, much to the delight of millions of users across the nation.
The widely popular social media platform, which has faced ongoing scrutiny over its alleged ties to China, was on the verge of being banned due to national security concerns.
However, the recent decision by the incoming Trump administration marks a significant shift in the ongoing saga regarding the app's future.
Jason Miller, senior advisor to President-elect Donald Trump, shared the news on Fox News, revealing that the incoming administration has decided to delay the ban until an approved buyer takes control of TikTok's operations in the United States.
According to Miller, this delay will allow more time for negotiations, including finding a suitable American company to purchase TikTok and address security concerns raised by lawmakers.
"The important thing for people to realize that this means that talks and negotiations are underway.", said Miller. "President Trump has been very direct on this even earlier today, saying that he's going to make sure that we save the platform. I think it's important, but we have to make sure that we keep security first and foremost".
The news has been met with a wave of support on social media, with TikTok users and creators expressing relief and excitement.
