TikTok Goes Dark in the US Hours Before Ban Amid Government Demands and Legal Challenges | Details
TikTok has gone offline in the US hours before a ban enforcing its removal takes effect.
US users were greeted with a message citing legal restrictions, while the app disappeared from Apple and Google stores.
ByteDance, TikTok's parent company, failed to meet the government’s demand to sell its US operations.
As creators post farewell messages, millions await clarity on President-elect Trump’s promised 90-day reprieve, fueling debates about free speech and security concerns.

Donald Trump's involvement in the TikTok issue stems from his actions as President of the United States in 2020. Back then, he sought to ban TikTok over national security concerns, citing fears that the app, owned by the Chinese company ByteDance, could potentially share user data with the Chinese government. His administration attempted to force ByteDance to sell TikTok to a U.S. company or face a nationwide ban.

Mexico to Sue Google. In a recent development, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has expressed strong opposition to Google's decision to rename the "Gulf of Mexico" as the "Gulf of America" on its Maps platform for U.S. users. This change aligns with an executive order issued by U.S. President Donald Trump, which also included reverting Denali's name back to Mount McKinley.
President Sheinbaum criticized the renaming, emphasizing that the "Gulf of Mexico" has long been internationally recognized. She highlighted that under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, a country's sovereignty extends only up to 12 nautical miles from its coastline, implying that the U.S. cannot unilaterally rename the entire Gulf. Sheinbaum warned that Mexico might file a civil suit if Google does not revert to the original name, noting that legal preparations are underway
