TikTok no longer works in the US: This is the result of a special act adopted by Congress. American users application they received two similar-sounding messages informing them that TikTok is not working at the moment, but this is temporary because they are working on restoring it as soon as possible. Additionally, TikTok reports that “President Trump” signaled his intention to cooperate with TikTok working on a solution that will get it back up and running as soon as he takes office in the White House.

Another option is to get TikTok to respect you judgment and sell the application. ByteDance, however, claims that China will block the sale of the app's algorithm.
