Tennis star Coco Gauff says TikTok ban ‘will force me to read books more’ US tennis star Coco Gauff said her country’s TikTok ban “will force me to read books more” after victory at the Australian Open.
TikTok’s app was removed from prominent app stores in the US on Saturday just before a federal law that would have banned the popular social media platform was scheduled to go into effect.
Users opening the TikTok app on Saturday were greeted with a message from the company that stopped them scrolling on videos.
App stores are prohibited from offering the platform under the new law, which takes effect on Sunday.
The US star beat Belinda Bencic to reach the Australian Open women’s singles quarter-finals on day eight of the competition.
