“TikTok is gone.” American users can no longer access the famous platform, very popular among young people. The app has been made inaccessible in the United States. The Chinese social network was, in fact, threatened with ban.
Congress had given ByteDance until Sunday, January 19, to sell its American assets to a company in the country. “A law banning TikTok has been implemented in the United States“, says a message if you try to log in. “This means you can no longer use TikTok at this time.”
This ban on the social network comes a few hours before the inauguration of Donald Trump, scheduled for Monday, January 20 in Washington. The Republican cannot intervene in this matter before coming to power. A “90-day postponement” could be “decreed” by the billionaire. “If I decide, it will probably be Monday.”he said, during an interview with NBC.
“We are fortunate that President Trump has indicated that he will work with us to a solution to restore TikTok once it enters into office. Stay tuned,” explains the social network in its message to its users. Seized by TikTok as a last resort, the American Supreme Court unanimously refused on Friday to suspend the law.
