TikTok returns to Google Play Store during 75 days US ban
TikTok has been reinstated on Google’s Play Store, allowing downloads until the end of a 75 days extension of the United States ban.
This decision follows assurances from the US Department of Justice (DOJ) that restoring TikTok’s access to apps would not violate the law.
The original ban was enacted on Jan. 19, when Congress ordered TikTok’s owner, ByteDance, to divest its US operations.
The 75 days grace period mandated by the executive order has placed the app in an uncertain legal status.
