TikTok has announced that it is in the process of restoring its service across the United States after a recent Supreme Court ruling. The decision comes after discussions between the platform and its service providers, with TikTok thanking former President Donald Trump for offering the necessary clarity and assurances to ensure that providers will face no penalties for continuing to offer the app to more than 170 million American users.
In a statement, TikTok emphasized the importance of the ruling, describing it as a stand for the First Amendment and against what the platform called “arbitrary censorship.” The company also highlighted the significant role TikTok plays in supporting over 7 million small businesses in the United States, helping them thrive by connecting with customers in innovative ways.
Moving forward, TikTok stated that it will collaborate with President Trump and other relevant stakeholders on a long-term solution to maintain its operations in the United States, ensuring that the platform remains available for its millions of users and businesses.
