Yes, they can just use a VPN. I've told this to several people in my life and many of them write that off as being too difficult to figure out. I even gave my VPN un & pw to a family member with a link to download the app and they still just said "nah."

Some people just can't be bothered to try, I guess.

I know how to get around it. I was curious to know the level at which it was being blocked. Is it the DNS, is it some kind of firewall...etc.

I don't care if it lives or dies. I don't use it at all but I was curious to know how the ban/block was being implemented.

So are American ISPs being forced to block TikTok's server's IPs?

 

On a technical level, how is TikTok being blocked/banned in the US?

Can I still sideload the app to my phone? Is it only being banned from the two big app stores? Is there a penalty for being found in possession of the software on US soil?

It's a shame. As soon as my current VPN ran out, I was going to give them some money. I guess he should have kept his MAGA thoughts to himself.

But do you really have to show your friends every time?

You gotta leave a tip for the rape to be legit.

Metal detectors? Are you serious? It's not like people are carrying guns in there. Oh wait...

It's probably accurate. Imagine cubicles and desks smoldering in a filthy, smokey heap, copy machines smashed through the windows, sparking electrical conduit dangling from the ceiling. It's likely madness.

I thought they banned the shoplifting subs. No?
