Anecdote says the app is currently having network trouble, so I expect there's some devops minions having a sweaty moment, but the ban is (to be) postponed (and in the meanwhile not enforced).
I cannot even imagine the indemnity provisions that were entered into by TikTok to give its network providers enough risk mitigation to turn the taps back on. As far as I can see, the app stores still are not listing ByteDance-related apps so it seems that TikTok could not assure Apple and Google.
