- TikTok returned for US users less than 24 hours after it went dark over the weekend.
- Some creators who thought the app was gone for good used the ban to expose their own secrets.
- DuoLingo revealed the face of its mascot, while TikToker Charli D'Amelio confessed to an old rumor.
Ahead of what looked like a TikTok apocalypse in the US, some of the app's most popular creators made last-ditch confessions and exposed their own trade secrets.
They might be regretting those decisions now.
Less than 24 hours after the Chinese-owned app went dark for US users on Sunday in compliance with a divest-or-ban law, TikTok announced it would restore service after President-elect Donald Trump said he'd issue an executive order to "extend the period of time before the law's prohibitions take effect."
But before the U-turn, some creators used a catchy sound from "Family Guy" to expose their long-running bits, confess to fake content, and debunk internet lore surrounding them.
