Tiktok Apple and Google App have returned to stores, about a month later a new security law forced it to be removed, AFP journalists confirmed on Thursday. National security concerns are being banned in the United States, which is being banned on users, which is being prohibited from Chinese -owned social media platforms.
The popular video-sharing app rocked late on January 18 and disappeared from the app store for the disintegration of millions of users.
The service was restored when the new US President Donald Trump began his second term and ordered a 75-day stagnation on the implementation of the law, signed by Biden and passed heavily by Congress.
However, Apple and Google had not yet made Tiktok available at their app store.
The ticket ban was passed due to concerns that the Chinese government could exploit the app to spy on Americans or affect American public opinion through data collection and content manipulation.
This ordered the company to divide or be banned by the teachings of its Chinese owner.
Trump has suggested a joint venture between the United States and Bidens, although he did not give details about how it could be achieved.
“Essentially, with Tiktok, I have the right to sell it or close it,” Trump said immediately after the order of stagnation.
He said, “We may also have to get approval from China … but I am sure they will approve it or it will be a hostile task” that can be interpreted with tariffs, he said.
Companies violating law, which are officially in effect, if the app is accessed, then the users face punishment of up to $ 5,000 per users.
Trump tried to ban Tiktok in the United States on similar national security concerns during his first term in the office, but said he now has a “hot place” for the app.
Originally launched as Douin for the Chinese market in 2016, the international version was named Ticketkok and released in 2017. The forum has faced intensive investigation from governments worldwide, which is on concerns about data secrecy and potential relations for the Chinese government.
