TikTok is offline in the U.S. after Supreme Court upholds ban

Tik Tok ofline in US

TikTok is no longer accessible to users in the U.S., the result of a controversial law forcing the popular platform offline unless it splits away from its China-based owner, ByteDance.

When users tried to open the app around 10:35 p.m. ET, a message appeared: "Sorry, TikTok isn't available right now," it read. "A law banning TikTok has been enacted in the U.S. Unfortunately, that means you can't use TikTok for now."

The message then said President-elect Donald Trump has promised to "work with us on a solution to reinstate TikTok once he takes office. Please stay tuned!"

Around the same time, TikTok also stopped appearing on the Apple app store.

The law, recently upheld by the Supreme Court, directed Apple and Google to remove the service from app stores. It also required web-hosting firms, including TikTok's back-end cloud provider, Oracle, to stop supporting the app or face penalties that could reach into the billions of dollars.
