The relevant part of the pop-up:

> We are fortunate that President Trump has indicated that he will work with us on a solution to reinstate TikTok once he takes office.

> In agreement with our service providers, TikTok is in the process of restoring service.

What the fuck? That's some incredible bootlicking by TikTok. They've done a great job making Biden seem like the bad guy for banning TikTok, while Trump saves the day by rescuing them. This is especially ironic considering Trump was the one who wanted to introduce the ban in the first place until he gained 15M followers on the platform.
