TikTok blocks all access from Hong Kong. Can I sue them?

Not as a foreign national.

And not as a Hong-Konger, if you don't want your family on a blacklist.

Wait, I'm in HK right now for business and can open it just fine from my hotel wifi. The website that is, I don't care about the platform and wouldn't use the app.

I could play videos just fine without login though. Anything I'm missing?
