Summary

TikTok went dark in the U.S. as a federal ban took effect, citing national security concerns over its ties to China-based ByteDance.

The app was removed from Apple and Google stores, blocking downloads and updates, though existing users can retain the app.

TikTok’s CEO and Trump hinted at a possible 90-day extension, but the platform remains inaccessible.

The Supreme Court upheld the ban, which ByteDance challenged on First Amendment grounds.

Critics in China condemned the ban, while confusion surrounds enforcement and potential buyers of TikTok’s U.S. operations.

    Don’t worry everyone. They will give trump money. He will just ignore the law and restore TikTok. He will be the savior and hero.

    That or he will force them to sell it to his fuck buddy elon. Either way this will make him the most beat person in the history of people.
