Apple and Google took TikTok out of their app stores following a law that mandates China’s ByteDance divest the social media platform or face an outright ban in the United States.
President Joe Biden signed the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act in April, and the Supreme Court unanimously upheld it on Friday, leading to the delisting of the app. According to TikTok, unless the Biden administration steps in, its service will go dark on Friday, meaning it will no longer function for Americans.
The previous app-install page for TikTok on the Apple App Store displays the message “App Not Available.”. “At this time, this app is not accessible in your country or region,” the notification stated.
The page on the Google Play store where TikTok was previously hosted displayed a message that read, “We apologize, the requested URL was not found on this server.”. “Sorry, TikTok isn’t available right now,”
The good news is that President Trump has promised to collaborate with us to find a way to bring TikTok back once he takes office.
In a TikTok video, TikTok’s chief, Chew, stated, “You can be convinced that we will exert every effort to guarantee that our platform continues to flourish as your virtual residence for boundless creativity and exploration, as well as a source of inspiration and happiness, for years to come.”
Chew also expressed gratitude to President-elect Donald Trump, who had earlier requested that the Supreme Court postpone the law’s rollout so that his administration would have “the opportunity to pursue a political resolution of the questions at issue in the case.”.
Trump’s inauguration in Washington on Monday is anticipated to be attended by Chew and tech executives from Meta, Amazon, Apple, and Google.
