US TikTok users scramble, despair as Bytedance waves the 'white flag'
Disappointment, denial and confusion flooded US TikTok on Wednesday upon hearing the news that Chinese owner ByteDance planned to shut off the app for its 170 million US users by Sunday, seemingly throwing in the towel on efforts to keep the popular video-sharing platform going.
