TikTok's Ups and Downs: Service Back On During Political Chaos.

TikTok, a popular video app, was banned in the US. The ban meant that people could not use the app anymore.

But then, Donald Trump, who will soon be president, said he would try to stop the ban. He wants to give TikTok more time to find a buyer in the US.

TikTok was very happy about this and said it was back online. They thanked Trump for his help.

However, the app stores were still not allowed to offer TikTok for download. It seems like Trump's plan might not be legal, as the ban was already decided by the courts.

Some people think this whole situation was just a way to get attention. They think both TikTok and Trump benefited from it.
