ByteDance-owned firms were also hit by the US ban hammer

It turns out the nationwide ban on TikTok in the US also extends beyond the social media platform. Even the famous game Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, Marvel Snap, and CapCut video editor didn't escape the hammer. 

Heading to the MLBB website will give you a notice that "Mobile Legends is currently unavailable".

It is followed by a letter stating:

Due to circumstances beyond our control, Mobile Legends: Bang Bang is currently unavailable to players in the US. We deeply value our vibrant player community and are actively exploring possibilities to bring the game back in the future. 

The game company also has provided a way for its players to export their game data or account deletion. The letter also ended with a "Thank You" message for its gaming community.

In similar news, another game from ByteDance—Marvel Snap was also banned in the country. Many players have shared their screenshots of being unable to play inside the game.

A law banning Marvel Snap has been in enacted in the U.S. Unfortunately, that means you can't use Marvel Snap for now, said Nuverse under ByteDance.

Besides these games, the popular content creation tool CapCut was also prohibited in the US. If you head to the Apple Support US website, it will greet you with a letter saying:

Pursuant to the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act, apps developed by ByteDance Ltd. and its subsidiaries—including TikTok, CapCut, Lemon8, and others—will no longer be available for download or updates on the App Store for users in the United States starting January 19, 2025.

Below are the games banned as listed from the Apple Support website:

  • TikTok
  • TikTok Studio
  • TikTok Shop Seller Center
  • CapCut
  • Lemon8
  • Hypic
  • Lark - Team Collaboration
  • Lark - Rooms Display
