Ablakwa reveals facts about his tenancy in Airport Hills

 

TikTok has gone down in the United States, just hours before a new rule prohibiting the company goes into effect.
A notification on the app for US users stated that legislation prohibiting TikTok had been passed, implying that "you can't use TikTok for now.".

The video-sharing software was prohibited due to worries about its relations with the Chinese government, and it could not be sold to an approved US buyer until January 19.
President Joe Biden said he would leave the matter to his successor, Donald Trump. Trump has stated that he will "most likely" grant TikTok a 90-day respite from the ban after he takes office on Monday.














"If I decide to do that, I'll probably announce it on Monday."
Users stated that the app had been withdrawn from both Apple and Google's US app stores, and TikTok.com was not displaying videos.
"We are fortunate that President Trump has indicated that he will work with us on a solution to reinstate TikTok once he takes office," the statement displayed after the ban went into effect said.

The Supreme Court maintained a regulation passed in April last year that banned the app in the United States unless its Chinese parent firm, ByteDance, sold the platform by Sunday, which it has yet to do.
TikTok has contended that the regulation infringes the free expression rights of its 170 million users in the nation.
Following the verdict, TikTok's CEO, Shou Zi Chew, wrote to Trump, praising him for his "commitment to working with us to find a solution."
Mr Chew is likely to attend Donald Trump's inauguration on Monday.

In the hours leading up to the social media platform's shutdown, content producers had been submitting films to say farewell to their fans.
Creator Nicole Bloomgarden told the BBC that not being on TikTok would result in a huge pay loss.

Another user, Erika Thompson, stated that the platform's instructional content will be the "biggest loss" for the community.

Earlier on Saturday, TikTok users received a notice stating that the law would "force us to make our services temporarily unavailable." We're striving to restore our service in the United States as quickly as possible."

Meanwhile, a government minister told the BBC on Sunday that the United Kingdom had no intentions to prohibit TikTok.

"We won't be following the same path as the Americans unless or until... there is a threat that we are concerned about in the British interest, and then of course we will keep it under review," said Chief Secretary of the Treasury Darren Jones.


In 2023, the app was banned from the UK Parliament and government devices due to security concerns.

However, Jones told Laura Kuenssberg on Sunday that "for consumers who want to post videos of their cats dancing, that doesn't seem like a security threat to me".
