911 Centers Overwhelmed as Teens Panic Over TikTok Shutdown
Washington, D.C. – Emergency call centers across the United States have reportedly been flooded with non-emergency 911 calls from concerned teenagers and children following the sudden shutdown of TikTok.
According to multiple reports, the surge in calls began shortly after the app became unavailable due to the ban that took effect at midnight. Frustrated and panicked users, particularly younger individuals, have contacted emergency services seeking information and assistance regarding the app’s status.
Law enforcement agencies have issued public advisories urging people to refrain from calling 911 for non-emergency issues, emphasizing that TikTok’s availability does not constitute an emergency. Some dispatch centers have described the influx as “unprecedented,” with operators fielding inquiries from distressed users asking when the app will be restored.
Meanwhile, President-Elect Donald Trump has announced plans to issue an executive order on Monday to delay the ban, providing additional time to negotiate a solution and potentially establish a joint ownership deal with the U.S. government.
Authorities are reminding citizens to only use 911 for life-threatening emergencies and have directed social media users to official government websites for updates on the TikTok situation.
