Marvel Snap has now been banned in the US alongside TikTok, thanks to an association with the social media platform's parent company ByteDance, catching players off guard.

A US ban on the social media platform TikTok is set to go into effect. Here's how long the app has left, plus the ban's impact on High Desert creators.

TikTok went offline in the United States Saturday night, less than two hours before a ban was slated to go into effect.

TikTok was not available for many of its 170 million users in the U.S. hours before a ban on the social media platform was supposed to go into effect.

Citing national security, the Supreme Court rules that TikTok can be banned if its Chinese parent company ByteDance does not sell the app by Sunday.
