A message appearing for US users says they “can’t use TikTok for now”.

BBC Tech Correspondent Lily Jamali explains what happened and what it means for the popular platform.

The government says technology should “make people’s lives easier” but any system won’t be mandatory.

The Supreme Court earlier upheld a law that would ban the video app in the US unless its Chinese parent-company sells it.

Some creators told the BBC they will start to diversify where they post their content and lean in to platforms like Instagram and YouTube.

Influencers have posted about leaving TikTok and moving to Rednote as the US is set to go ahead with a ban on Sunday.
