Millions of TikTok users in the United States are no longer able to watch videos on the social media platform as a federal ban on the immensely popular app takes effect.

Trump suggests he will extend the ban deadline by 90 days as Biden’s administration signals it won’t try to stop TikTok’s threatened shutdown on Sunday.

January 19, 2025 - White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre has released a Statement regarding TikTok. A law banning TikTok has been enacted in the U.S. Unfortunately, that means you can't use TikTok for now.

President-elect Donald Trump told ABC News in an interview Saturday he is likely to grant TikTok a 90-day extension to avoid a ban in the United States.

The White House on Saturday called TikTok’s statement warning that it will “go dark” on Sunday unless President Biden steps in a “stunt,” arguing the app doesn’t have to take action

TikTok is pressuring President Joe Biden in his final days to decline to enforce the ban; the administration says the timing makes any decision Donald Trump’s responsibility.

In response to TikTok’s retaliation to the ban by going dark on Sunday, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre shared a statement attempting to call their bluff: “It is a stunt, and we see no reason for TikTok or other companies to take actions in the next few days before the Trump administration takes office on Monday.

The U.S. is inching closer and closer to a potential TikTok ban — with the nation’s highest court upholding a law that’s set to officially cut the cord and halt new downloads off the app starting Sund

Trump spoke to NBC News’ Kristen Welker in an exclusive phone interview Saturday, discussing his plans on what to do about the popular social media app.

TikTok said it will have to “go dark” this weekend unless the outgoing Biden administration assures the company it won’t enforce a shutdown of the popular app after the Supreme Court on Friday unanimously upheld the federal law banning the app unless it’s sold by its China-based parent company.

"We see no reason for TikTok or other companies to take actions in the next few days before the Trump administration takes office on Monday," White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said on Saturday.

TikTok, which has captivated nearly half of all Americans, powered small businesses and shaped online culture, warned on Friday it would go dark in the U.S. on Sunday unless President Joe Biden's administration provided assurances to companies such as Apple and Google that they will not face enforcement actions when a ban takes effect.
