Tiktokers Break Down In Tears After Temporary US Shutdown(photos/video) (20800 Views)

Glimpsetv: 11:42pm On Jan 19

A wave of emotional videos flooded social media, showing TikTok s in tears and experiencing mental breakdowns following a brief shutdown of the platform in the United States. These individuals, many of whom have dedicated significant time and effort to building their presence on TikTok, appeared devastated, reacting as though their worlds were crumbling.

The incident, which caused widespread concern among creators and s, was soon addressed by TikTok and news outlets. According to a CBS News update:

Washington — TikTok began restoring service to s in the United States following a temporary and voluntary shutdown that lasted less than a day. The company said Sunday that it was in the process of reinstating access after President-elect Donald Trump vowed to try to pause the ban by executive order on his first day in office.

In a statement, TikTok expressed gratitude for the resolution:
"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," TikTok said in a statement. "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.”

The temporary shutdown served as a stark reminder of the platform's importance to millions of s and its role in ing small businesses and content creators across the nation.

Na set up. Trump suffers from Hero syndrome.

One of his buddies will buy the app in 3months time.

For tiktok owners. It's either they agree to sell or go dark permanently.

If only people understand how powerful government is, they would be more interested in the selection/election process.

Yes, I know it's the courts, but yes, that's an arm of the government too!

I agree with you.

One of my friend that earns 450k monthly is very addicted to betting, it has gotten to the stage he bets on impulse. He currently owing a debt of two million plus.. His gambling addicts has pushed him from two bedroom flats to a one room self.
Betting sucks actually

You think the Americans care about Income than their Secrets - that the Chinese Authorities is trying to Influence the Owners of the TikToks?
Those Excellent Supreme Court Justices- have Spoken,as the Owners of the Chinese TikToks Could Not Dispute it in Court!
• Many of you don't know that the Chinese Authorities are the most Secretive in the World 🌎.
But they don't allowed such thing,.e g.Stealing their Secrets to happen to them- na death Sentence be that!
