TikTok's app effectively shut down in the US, just hours before a law banning the popular video-sharing platform was set to go into effect.

Following Friday's Supreme Court decision, TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew thanked the president-elect for his commitment to finding a solution to keep the app accessible in the US.
