TikTok has been shut down for US users after a law enacted by outgoing President Joe Biden required its Chinese parent company, ByteDance, to sell the app or face a national security ban. The law, upheld by the Supreme Court, took effect on January 19, 2025. While the app is no longer available in app stores, President-elect Donald Trump has indicated that he may offer a 90-day reprieve once he takes office, allowing time for a potential buyer to emerge. TikTok’s CEO, Shou Zi Chew, is attending Trump's inauguration today.
