(Reuters) – TikTok was blacked out in the U.S. on Saturday before a federal ban on the Chinese-owned short video app took effect, cutting off access to a platform that has won over nearly half of all Americans, fueled small businesses and shaped online culture.
“A law has been passed in the US that bans TikTok. Unfortunately, this means you cannot use TikTok for now. We are happy that President Trump has indicated that he will work with us on a solution to reinstate TikTok when he takes office. Please stay tuned to us,” reads the message in the application.
