00:00One hundred seventy million Americans on TikTok have whiplash from the last couple of days
00:05as a well-choreographed dance played out, TikTok going offline Saturday ahead of its
00:11legally required January 19th ban, a message popping up reading, we are fortunate that
00:17President Trump has indicated he will work with us on a solution to reinstate TikTok
00:22once he takes office.
00:24The app was then suddenly back online Sunday ahead of CEO Shou Chu's appearance at Trump's
00:30inauguration Monday.
00:32President Trump has now given TikTok 75 days to find an alternative solution, despite a
00:38federal law based on national security concerns passed by a bipartisan majority of Congress
00:45and backed up by the Supreme Court.
00:48Ultimately, the app's fate may be determined by Apple and Oracle, who would be subject
00:53to massive fines if they continue to host the ByteDance-owned app.
