00:00Back home now to the breaking news overnight, the social media app TikTok going dark as a U.S. ban goes into effect, ABC's Elizabeth Schulze is in Washington.
00:09Elizabeth, you've been following all of this. Good morning to you.
00:12Hey, good morning, Gio.
00:13Well, millions of Americans are waking up this morning to a TikTok app where you can't scroll or post.
00:18Instead, all you see is a message that it's unavailable.
00:21TikTok is apologizing to users that the app went dark.
00:24Here's an outlook to President-elect Trump to turn the lights back on.
00:28This morning, TikTok is shut down for 170 million U.S. users as a landmark ban on the app takes effect.
00:35Late Saturday, this message appearing on screens saying a law banning TikTok has been enacted in the U.S.
00:42Unfortunately, that means you can't use TikTok for now.
00:45We are fortunate that President Trump has indicated he will work with us on a solution.
00:49Stay tuned.
00:50TikTok also removed from Apple and Google's app stores.
00:54I'm just thankful and honored that we got the time together that we did.
00:57In the hours leading up to the ban, celebrities.
01:03Major American companies.
01:04And with that, the TikTok era comes to an end.
01:09And content creators rallying around the hashtag farewell TikTok.
01:13This is like the third or fourth time we've had to make these goodbye TikTok videos.
01:19But those goodbyes could be short-lived.
01:22President-elect Donald Trump telling ABC's Rachel Scott he will most likely put the ban on hold for 90 days once he takes office.
01:29Saying I'll do that until we figure something out.
01:32TikTok's CEO, who will be in a prime seat at Trump's inauguration Monday, is pinning his hopes on the future president.
01:39Who back in 2020 wanted the app outlawed.
01:42I want to thank President Trump for his commitment to work with us.
01:46Under the law, Trump's options are limited.
01:49He could try to broker a deal for TikTok to cut ties with its Chinese parent company ByteDance.
01:54And hope that China's government signs off.
01:57The law says TikTok's Chinese ownership is a national security threat.
02:01It passed in Congress with broad bipartisan support.
02:04And was unanimously upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court.
02:07Letting their local representatives know what TikTok means to them.
02:11Mom of four, Reby Hardy, says she found financial success in a sense of community posting viral videos of her family on TikTok.
02:18It gave me financial freedom, independence, and it changed my career.
02:24She told her 2.4 million followers to find her on Instagram and YouTube.
02:28But worries about the payoff.
02:30The difference between a video posted on TikTok that generated about $2,000 in revenue.
02:36And looking on Instagram and that same video, I made $3 from it.
02:43TikTok no fue forzada a cerrarse bajo la ley.
02:46Pero la empresa afirma que no tuvo suficiente reafirmación explícita de la administración Biden.
02:51Las empresas tecnológicas como Apple, Google y Oracle que ofrecen servicios a TikTok.
02:55No harían grandes finas cuando el ley se aplicó hoy.
02:58La Casa Blanca llamó a la elección de TikTok para cerrarse.
03:01Un golpe, Gio.
03:02Y Elizabeth, creo que muchas personas están sorprendidas de saber que esta empresa propone otras aplicaciones.
03:06No solo TikTok.
03:07Exactamente.
03:08Y esas aplicaciones también no están disponibles.
03:10Incluyendo aplicaciones como Lemon8 y CapCut.
03:13Estos también son propiedades de la compañía parente de TikTok, ByteDance.
03:16CapCut es una plataforma de edición de video que es popular para hacer videos.
03:19Apple hoy en la mañana dice que no están disponibles para descargas o actualizaciones bajo la ley.
03:24Eso está en efecto.
03:25Gio.
03:26Sí, intenté abrir CapCut también.
03:27También no lo permite.
03:28Bien, Elizabeth.
03:29Muchas gracias.
03:30Y Elizabeth, volveremos en la próxima media hora con el contribuyente de ABC News
03:33y el experto en redes sociales, Mike Mews.
03:35Con más sobre lo que esta banda podría significar para los usuarios y los creadores de contenido.
03:39Janay.
03:40Lo siento que te impactaste, Gio.
