TikTok Ceases Operations in US Due to Federal Ban, Affects 170 Million Users; Trump Considers 90-Day Reprieve
Jan 19, 2025, 04:08 AM
TikTok has ceased operations in the United States, becoming unavailable to its 170 million American users as a federal law banning the app took effect on Sunday. The app was removed from Apple and Google app stores, and users attempting to access it were met with a message stating, 'A law banning TikTok has been enacted in the U.S. Unfortunately, that means you can't use TikTok for now.' The message also mentioned that President-elect Donald Trump has indicated he will work with TikTok on a solution to reinstate the app once he takes office on Monday, suggesting a potential 90-day reprieve from the ban. The ban stems from national security concerns related to TikTok's Chinese ownership by ByteDance, prompting the U.S. Supreme Court to uphold the law on Friday.
