Tikok has returned to the Apple and Google app within the USA after President Donald Trump delayed the enforcement of a Tikok ban.
Tikok, which is operated by the Chinese technology company bytedance, was faraway from Apple and Google's app stores on January 18 to comply with a law that requires bytedance to separate the app or be banned within the USA
The popular social media app, which has over 170 million American users, has previously hired its services within the United States for a day before restoring the service of Trump's insurance that he would postpone the ban on the app. The Tikok Service suspension briefly caused hundreds of users to migrate based on Rednote, a Chinese social media app, while he described himself as a “Tikok refugee”.
Tikok has long had problems within the United States, and the US government claims that its Chinese property and access to the information of hundreds of thousands of Americans make it a national security risk.
Tikok has denied the allegations that it has shared US user data on the behest of the Chinese government, and argues that the law, based on which it have to be obliged or prohibited, violates the rights of the primary changes to its American users.
While Trump's first office, he supported Tikok's ban, but later modified his opinion and claimed that he had a “warm stain” for the app. TIKTOK CEO Shou Chew was certainly one of the participants in Trump's term.
