The president-elect assures that he will issue a decree this Monday so that the social video network works again and requests that it be 50% American property. Some 170 million Americans were left this Saturday night (early morning in Spain) without being able to access the popular video social network TikTok, owned by the Chinese company ByteDance. The network was serving its content during the afternoon and suddenly stopped working around an hour and a half before midnight, the deadline provided for in a law passed last year by the United States Congress. The rule, upheld by the Supreme Court on Friday, prohibited the application if it did not cease to be under Chinese control, citing national security reasons. TikTok said goodbye with a message expressing hope that Donald Trump would reinstate the app. The president-elect assured this Sunday that he will dictate an extension on Monday and the social network reacted by reactivating its services about 13 hours after the blackout.
