SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) — The clock has run out on TikTok Saturday night. The app went dark for many users in the United States as a ban took effect.
However, the company’s CEO is confident this is not the end.
“Rest assured, we will do everything in our power to ensure our platform thrives as your online home for limitless creativity and discovery, as well as a source of inspiration and joy for years to come. Thank you. More to come,” said TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew.
There is a wide-reaching impact, not just politically, but economically.
There are–or were–tens of millions of users and influencers in the United States, and the company even has an office in the Bay Area that it was looking to expand.
