TikTok users in the United States received an unexpected message late on Saturday: the popular social media app will be “temporarily unavailable” starting Sunday due to a new law banning the platform.
Upon logging in, users were greeted with a notification stating that the law would “force us to make our services temporarily unavailable. We’re working to restore our service in the U.S. as soon as possible.” Despite the warning, users on Saturday could still access and use the app by clicking through the message.
The sudden announcement has left millions of TikTok enthusiasts uncertain about the app’s future in the U.S. The ban’s implementation signifies escalating tensions surrounding the app’s operations within the country.
TikTok’s statement emphasized their commitment to resolving the issue swiftly to minimize disruption for U.S. users. As the situation unfolds, users are encouraged to stay informed about updates from official TikTok channels.
