TikTok’s brief ban led creators to reveal secrets, but now they may regret it as the app returns.
DuoLingo even showed the face of its mascot, while Charli D’Amelio admitted to an old rumor about her. It was a wild moment before the app made a quick comeback.
Just when it seemed like TikTok was facing a major shutdown, the app announced it would restore service. This came after President-elect Donald Trump said he’d delay the law that caused the ban.
Before the reversal, many creators used a popular “Family Guy” sound to share their confessions and debunk myths. DuoLingo’s reveal was a big hit, with the staffer named Mark stepping into the spotlight.
Charli D’Amelio also joined in, clarifying that a device she was seen with wasn’t an “anxiety pen” as people speculated. She said she still doesn’t know how that rumor started.
Other TikTokers jumped on the trend too, like Kaeli Mae, who admitted she never actually used the fancy ice cubes she showcased. This led to a lot of comments about wasting food.
While some creators are now facing backlash, others who feared losing income are likely relieved that TikTok is back. Before the ban, many voiced concerns about their freedom of speech and even threatened not to file taxes in protest.
