Over the past few weeks, users of the video app TikTok braced
themselves for a national ban to take effect.

came back. And it credited President-elect Donald J. Trump with

Sapna Maheshwari, who covers TikTok for The Times, discusses the

Guests: Sapna Maheshwari, a reporter covering TikTok, technology
and emerging media companies for The New York Times.
