TikTok ban begins in the US a day before Donald Trump's inauguration

TikTok shut down in the United States just before a nationwide ban took effect, displaying a message that it isn't available right now, according to AP News.
The ban was signed into law by President Joe Biden in April 2024, targeting apps linked to foreign adversaries like China, according to CNN.
President-Elect Donald Trump hinted at a 90-day delay for the ban after his inauguration, stating a reprieve is something that will most likely be done.
TikTok denied allegations of wrongdoing and argued that the ban violates its First Amendment rights, describing it as not commercially, technologically, or legally possible.
