On the evening of January 18, local time in the United States, TikTok informed its American users that due to an official ban by the U.S. government set to take effect on the 19th, the app would cease operations in the country and be delisted from the Apple and Google app stores. When attempting to log in, users will encounter a message stating that "TikTok is currently unavailable." Additionally, Oracle, the cloud computing provider for TikTok's U.S. operations, has deactivated the servers housing its data.
