TikTok begins restoring after Trump comments | LiveNOW from FOX

TRUMP LATEST NEWS: TikTok posted a statement on X saying, "In agreement with our service providers, TikTok is in the process of restoring service. We thank President Trump for providing the necessary clarity and assurance to our service providers that they will face no penalties providing TikTok to over 170 million Americans and allowing over 7 million small businesses to thrive. It’s a strong stand for the First Amendment and against arbitrary censorship. We will work with President Trump on a long-term solution that keeps TikTok in the United States." This came after President-elect Donald Trump said he would issue and executive order to restore TikTok.

Trump said in a statement on Truth Social, "I’m asking companies not to let TikTok stay dark! I will issue an executive order on Monday to extend the period of time before the law’s prohibitions take effect, so that we can make a deal to protect our national security. The order will also confirm that there will be no liability for any company that helped keep TikTok from going dark before my order.
Americans deserve to see our exciting Inauguration on Monday, as well as other events and conversations. I would like the United States to have a 50% ownership position in a joint venture. By doing this, we save TikTok, keep it in good hands and allow it to say up. Without U.S. approval, there is no Tik Tok. With our approval, it is worth hundreds of billions of dollars - maybe trillions. Therefore, my initial thought is a joint venture between the current owners and/or new owners whereby the U.S. gets a 50% ownership in a joint venture set up between the U.S. and whichever purchase we so choose."

A ban on Only Fans would be much more beneficial.

[BadKittyNoMilk]

This is a big distraction from other issues along with the fires in LA

[morning_dew]

Yawn. I thought we were getting rid of that rot

[wardshannond]

So I guess trump wants to get praises over something he wanted gone in the first place. Make sense

[breegis]

So they are violating a federal law before it is even confirmed to be extended? Just because trump says something before he is even president does not mean you can just violate federal laws.

[jefa]

Yet Temu is completely safe. Makes sense.

[dralord]

This is something we Disagree on Trump.
Big mistake

[jrlv]

That still doesn’t put it back in Google play or the App Store. So until they come to an agreement eventually we’re gonna lose it.

[isiptpl]

I was really excited when everything started shutting down.

[Connecting.the.Dots.]
