TikTok goes dark in the US

TikTok’s app was removed from prominent app stores on Saturday evening just before as a federal law that bans the popular social media platform went into effect, reports AP.

By 10:50 pm (EST), the app was no longer available on Apple and Google’s app stores, which are now prohibited from offering TikTok due to a law requiring its China-based parent company, ByteDance, to sell the platform or face a potential U.S. ban.
