TikTok is no longer available in the US

TikTok's app stoped working and was removed from the App Store and Google Play on Saturday night just hours before the January 19, ban was set to take effect.

Following the passage of the "Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Apps Act" by President Biden, TikTok had six months to divest itself from Chinese parent company ByteDance.

President-elect Trump was a major of supporter of a ban during his first term in office and, ironically, TikTok's only hope of surviving after his second inauguration.
