    According to multiple reports (and the notification I received late last night on my device), TikTok and its sister app CapCut have returned to the United States digital stores (Google Play and the Apple Store). The change comes as a result of assurances from the Trump administration that a ban wouldn’t immediately be enforced. However, the apparent security risks remain. Before anyone jumps to conclusions, let’s give it time to see how it all plays out. Under President Trump’s presidency, he may be able to get an American buyer. Some people are interested in acquiring the Chinese internet company ByteDance app, including YouTube star MrBeast. Notably, Marck Cuban is ready to fund a TikTok alternative built on Bluesky’s AT Protocol.
