Following months of anticipation, the short-form video app TikTok went dark on Saturday night, just a few hours before legislation banning the app on Sunday went into effect. But it's not the only app that's now unavailable.
Lemon8, CapCut − Video Editor and Marvel Snap are three more platforms affected by the ban, as each has a tie to ByteDance, the Chinese parent company that some U.S. government officials believe is a national security threat.
