Why is Mobile Legends Bang Bang not available in the US?

The ban of MLBB comes after TikTok and its parent company, ByteDance, took a hit to their US operations on Jan. 18. As we explained in our article discussing its impact on Marvel Snap, the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act ordered ByteDance to divest from TikTok and its other applications, selling TikTok and its other apps to an entity that isn’t based in China by Jan. 18.
