TikTok's app was removed from prominent app stores on Saturday just before a federal law to ban the popular social media platform was scheduled to go into effect.

TikTok went offline in the United States Saturday night, less than two hours before a ban was slated to go into effect.

The President-elect will decide the ultimate fate of the social media app set to be banned in the U.S. the day before his inauguration.

In a concurring opinion, Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote, "Whether this law will succeed in achieving its ends, I do not know."

The Supreme Court upheld the TikTok ban on Friday. Here's what the ruling spells out for the popular app, including what upheld means.

With the ban upheld by the Supreme Court and the Biden administration leaving, TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew is banking on Trump to save the app in the US.

The U.S. Supreme Court upheld a congressional ban on TikTok unless its owner sells the app, a ruling that could significantly affect millions of American users, including creators in Acadiana.

The popular app TikTok has "gone dark" for the 170 million American users following the Supreme Court upholding a law that bans the app in the United States.

Users in the U.S. who opened the app Saturday night were greeted with a message with the headline, “Sorry, TikTok isn’t available right now.”

TikTok has officially shut down after being banned in the United States. The app is now unusable, but TikTok is working to resolve it.

If it feels like TikTok has been around forever, that’s probably because it has, at least if you’re measuring via internet time.
