TikTok shuts down US access DW 01/19/2025
Briefly

TikTok’s app became unavailable due to a federal law that bans the platform in the US, as it faced restrictions imposed on its China-based parent company, ByteDance.
The shutdown occurred just before the law was set to take effect, affecting users who received notifications about the service’s temporary unavailability.
In a recent statement, TikTok expressed regret over the situation, indicating that they are working diligently to restore services for US users.
President Trump suggested a potential 90-day reprieve for TikTok, indicating he would consider an extension once he assumes office.
