In a dramatic escalation of the ongoing legal and political battles surrounding TikTok, the app has officially gone offline for users in the United States, just hours before a government-imposed ban was set to take effect. Supporters of the app mourn its closure, expressing their sadness over the loss of a platform that has become integral to online culture. As the Supreme Court upholds the ban, concerns arise over the future of TikTok and the impact on its millions of users. In a last-ditch effort, former President Trump is reportedly considering options to save the platform, but the deadline looms. Users have been urged to save their data before the shutdown, as TikTok prepares for an uncertain future amidst discussions of legal challenges and possible extensions.
