TikTok influencers across the US have filmed themselves breaking down in hysteria as the Supreme Court-backed ban took effect, with many mourning the loss of their platform and livelihood. 

The app went dark for 170 million Americans after the Supreme Court allowed a nationwide ban to take effect early Sunday.

President-elect Donald Trump offered a glimmer of hope to devastated TikTok users on Saturday, telling NBC News he will 'most likely' delay the ban for 90 days after taking office Monday, though he hasn't made a final decision.
