TikTok has gone dark in the U.S., the result of a federal law that bans the popular social media app for millions of Americans — at least for now.
TikTok users began receiving a message about the ban around 10:30 p.m. Eastern. As of Saturday evening, the app was also no longer available in the Apple app store.
“Sorry, TikTok isn’t available right now,” the message reads. “A law banning TikTok has been enacted in the U.S. Unfortunately, that means you can’t use TikTok for now.”
