Starting on Saturday night, TikTok, the short-form video app owned by the Chinese company ByteDance, was unavailable in the United States as a result of a new law that banned the company's apps in the country. The law was upheld by the Supreme Court on Friday, highlighting national security concerns.
TikTok feeds stopped working in the United States late on Saturday night, with users seeing a pop-up message regarding the law banning the app, indicating that President Trump would work on a solution.
President Trump pledged to issue an executive order on Monday to stall the implementation of the ban, though his capacity to do so remains uncertain.
The law penalizes app stores and internet companies for distributing or updating any TikTok content, resulting in TikTok disappearing from major app stores on Sunday.
