The owner of a British Star Wars-themed TikTok account believes irrevocable damage has been done by the disruption caused by the US ban of the app. The platform was temporarily unavailable in the US on Saturday after the Supreme Court denied a bid by Chinese owner ByteDance to overturn a law banning it.

While TikTok has been restored for millions of American users after going dark, the app still isn't available on Apple's App Store or Google Play.

The app’s availability in the U.S. has been thrown into jeopardy over data privacy and national security concerns.

President Donald Trump has signed an executive order Monday to keep TikTok operating for 75 days, a relief to the social media platform’s users even as national security questions persist.

If Trump can upend the TikTok ban through secret deals and an impending executive order, what’s stopping him from doing the same to other valid federal laws?

While Trump gained praise from users for the reprieve, he faces long-time skeptics in his own Republican Party about what they see as the app’s ongoing national security threat.

The company said TikTok was coming back online in the U.S. after President-elect Donald Trump provided assurances to its service providers.

Popular TikTok accounts such as DuoLingo shared trade secrets before the app went dark in the US, while creators confessed to long-running inside jokes.

The ballad of the TikTok ban continues, with newly-inaugurated U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order to delay the app’s ban by at least 75 days. This doesn’t mean TikTok is completely in the clear, but it does offer the app a lifeline to come to some sort of deal with the U.S. government and avoid an outright ban.

TikTok announced it would restore access in the U.S. after President Trump extended the deadline for ByteDance to find an approved buyer, preventing a federal ban from taking effect. Over the weekend, the app became unavailable on Apple’s App Store and Google’s Play Store, and existing users saw messages stating TikTok was no longer accessible.
