TikTok, CapCut and Lemon8 have been shut down in the US

Tik-Tok, Cap Cut and Lemon-8 have been officially banned in the US

The ban, which was to come into force on Sunday 19 January, was adopted on Saturday evening at around 11:00 p.m.

When you try to open the app, you’re greeted with a popup that says “A law banning TikTok has been passed in the U.S. Unfortunately, this means you can’t use TikTok for now.”

The announcement goes on to say that they are working with President-elect Trump to try to reinstate the controversial app.

Earlier this week, we asked local creators how this will affect them, and it’s clear that this ban will have an immediate impact on many people’s lives.
