TikTok Goes Dark in the US Hours Before Ban Amid Government Demands and Legal Challenges | Details

TikTok has gone offline in the US hours before a ban enforcing its removal takes effect.

US users were greeted with a message citing legal restrictions, while the app disappeared from Apple and Google stores.

ByteDance, TikTok's parent company, failed to meet the government’s demand to sell its US operations.

As creators post farewell messages, millions await clarity on President-elect Trump’s promised 90-day reprieve, fueling debates about free speech and security concerns.
