TikTok goes offline in US ahead of ban, company pins hopes on ‘potential reinstatement’ under Trump

Washington DC [US], January 19 (ANI): The Chinese short-form video service app TikTok went offline in the US on Saturday night (local time), just hours before a law banning the app was set to take effect, CNN reported.

The users who tried to access the platform were met with a message stating, “Sorry, TikTok isn’t available right now. A law banning TikTok has been enacted in the US. Unfortunately, that means you can’t use TikTok for now.”
