19.01.2025 ⇢ TikTok's Dark Hours and Gaza's First Release
⌨
TikTok went dark at midnight following Supreme Court's decision, affecting 170 million US users. By early morning, Trump signaled a possible 90-day extension, leading to speculation about a political solution.
The Gaza ceasefire implementation faced a three-hour delay as Hamas initially failed to provide the list of hostages. After diplomatic pressure, Hamas named the first three women to be released: Romi Gonen, Emily Damari, and Doron Steinbrecher. The Red Cross entered Gaza in the afternoon to facilitate the exchange, and by 4 PM the three hostages reached Israel after 471 days in captivity.
Trump's return to Washington dominated conservative media coverage, with ceremonial preparation at Arlington Cemetery and rally preparations at Capital One Arena. By evening, TikTok announced service restoration, crediting Trump for providing "clarity" - marking the platform's strategic pivot toward the incoming administration.
