STORY: TikTok announced it was restoring service to users in the U.S. on Sunday after it briefly went dark in anticipation of a law forcing it to shut down in the country.The video-sharing app said the reversal was thanks to U.S. President-elect Donald Trump, who said he would revive the app in the U.S. after he was sworn into office on Monday.A bi-partisan law had threatened to force TikTok to either divest its U.S. operations or shut down, citing national security concerns and data risks due to the app's Chinese parent company, ByteDance.A unanimous U.S. Supreme Court upheld the law on Friday. But on Sunday Trump wrote on TruthSocial that he would postpone the period of time before the law took effect. And set a goal: 50% ownership in the app by U.S. investors.He said, "By doing this, we save TikTok, keep it in good hands and allow it to stay up."Trump's support for TikTok is a reversal from when he first pushed for the ban in 2020, while in office.Even if temporary, the unprecedented shutdown of TikTok could have a wide-ranging impact.The U.S. has never before banned a major social media platform. The law passed overwhelmingly by Congress gives the incoming Trump administration sweeping authority to ban or seek the sale of other Chinese-owned apps.Privately held ByteDance is about 60% owned by institutional investors such as BlackRock and General Atlantic, while its founders and employees own 20% each. It has more than 7,000 employees in the U.S.
