Show Notes
Donald Trump has given TikTok the all-clear to continue operating in the US, despite a federal ban.
The Chinese based-social media platform "went dark" yesterday and was removed from app stores, but says it's now restoring access following Trump's announcement.
The incoming US President says he wants to do a deal to see it half-owned by a US company, to allay security concerns.
Reporter from the technology website The Information joins the show to discuss the could-be American owners of the app, and the details that need to be ironed out for a deal to take place.
