By Darshan Dalal Verified| Al Arabiya English Verified TikTok’s service in the United States was restored on Sunday after the app briefly went offline due to a federal ban which left millions of American users temporarily locked out. The short-lived blackout, which began on Saturday night, followed the US Supreme Court’s decision to uphold a law banning TikTok on national security grounds unless its Chinese parent company, ByteDance, agreed to sell it. By Sunday afternoon, however, the app soon flickered back to life and was online for US users.
