TikTok tells users it will be ‘temporarily unavailable’ in US from today due to new law

TikTok informed US users on Saturday (January 18) that the app would be “temporarily unavailable” on Sunday as a new law banning the app takes effect. When users tried to log in, they were greeted with a message stating that the law would “force us to make our services temporarily unavailable” and assured that efforts were underway to restore the app in the US as quickly as possible. On Saturday, users could still bypass the message and continue using the app.
