But TikTok returned on Sunday for some users in the United States “in agreement” with the service providers, the company said. A pop-up window is displayed Inside the app, he thanks users for their patience and says that restoring it comes “as a result of the efforts of President Trump.”

None of the companies involved responded to requests for further comment. However, its recovery so far suggests that the app’s hosting provider, Oracle, and its CDN partner, Akamai, are banking on Trump’s promise that there will be “no liability” for companies that support TikTok. Others in government, such as Republican Sen. Tom Cotton, praised app stores for removing ByteDance’s apps And he said Any company that facilitates TikTok “could face hundreds of billions of dollars in devastating liability under the law, not just from the Department of Justice, but also under securities law, shareholder lawsuits, and government public organizations.”
