TikTok started restoring service in the US on Sunday, after a whipsaw of events that saw the video app make good on a threat to go dark, only to have President-elect Donald Trump halt enforcement of the law and announce he would give its owners another three months to find a buyer.

“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,” the video platform said in a post on X.
