TikTok has been officially banned in the United States, leaving users unable to access the popular social media app. When attempting to log in, users are met with a message stating, "Sorry, TikTok isn't available right now." The message further explains, "A law banning TikTok has been enacted in the U.S. Unfortunately, that means you can't use TikTok for now. We are fortunate that President Trump has indicated that he will work with us on a solution to reinstate TikTok once he takes office. Please stay tuned! In the meantime, you can still download your data."
Despite TikTok's last-ditch effort to appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court, the ban was upheld unanimously. The Court recognized the app's significance to over 170 million Americans as a platform for expression, engagement, and community building. However, it sided with Congress, which argued that the ban was necessary due to national security concerns related to TikTok's data collection and its ties to a foreign adversary. The Supreme Court concluded that the ban does not infringe upon the First Amendment rights of TikTok users.
TikTok remains hopeful that the incoming President, Donald Trump, will reverse the ban upon taking office on January 20. In an interview with NBC News on January 18, Trump mentioned he would "most likely" delay the ban for 90 days. This potential delay aims to provide a window for a U.S. or allied buyer to acquire the app, a step that has not yet been taken and led to the current ban. As a result of the ban, other apps linked to TikTok's parent company ByteDance, including CapCut, Lemon8, and Marvel Snap, have also become inaccessible.
