TikTok has ceased operations in the United States, just hours before a new law prohibiting the platform was set to take effect.
Users attempting to access the app were met with a message stating that the law banning TikTok had been enacted, adding, "you can't use TikTok for now", reports the BBC.
The message expressed optimism, noting, "We are fortunate that President Trump has indicated that he will work with us on a solution to reinstate TikTok once he takes office."
This development follows TikTok's warning that it would "go dark" on Sunday unless the outgoing Biden administration provided assurances that the ban would not be enforced.
President-elect Donald Trump earlier suggested he would "most likely" grant TikTok a 90-day reprieve from the ban once he assumes office on Monday.
