(A very temporary) RIP to American TikTok
Is this the biggest comeback of the year?
TikTok officially went offline in the US on Saturday - only to come back online the following day. The comeback was due to President Donald Trump saying he would issue an executive order to delay the implementation of a ban.
The 大象传媒鈥檚 Cyber correspondent Joe Tidy explains exactly what happened and what Trump鈥檚 Presidency may mean for the future of the app.
Plus, 大象传媒 World reporter Koh Ewe tells us more about RedNote - another Chinese app that US 鈥淭ikTok refugees鈥� have been flocking to.
