TikTok is officially offline in the US. Even gone from the App Store already.

People about to learn about VPN’s and Nostr hopefully 🤞
Who cares
Anyone who doesn't want to US to become North Korea. People should be free to use whatever the fuck they want.
Fucking retarded response
Not really
Is Nostr about to explode?
😂
Lmao no. I wish, but no.
So if it's already installed on your device will it work?
I'm unfamiliar with the app...
I thought it would go until 12 EST 😔
I was spamming about Nostr but no 😔
No. That error is all you get. The law that banned it is pretty insidious as it imposes fines on service providers such as cloud hosting, etc, if they continue offering services to TikTok beginning tomorrow.
Not sure how they decided on the time. Pretty crazy
I see both sides of the argument, but the CCP clearly doesn’t play fair. For them, it’s a one-way street. They have every incentive to continue manipulating and accelerating cultural decay.
Using a VPN to access the app and still get the same message. Not sure how it is determining you are in the US, but it's not by IP.
I think it was probably to piss people off lmao
One: it isn’t a CCP owned app. That’s US propaganda. Two: you haven’t heard TikTok enough if you think that’s all it’s accomplishing.
I was able to use a VPN in another country and it would let me download the app in the App Store.
I didn’t download it but that’s true if they might not let me access info still.
Could be. Also maybe just to give enough buffer so none of their partners get fined.
Possibly. What I find crazy is that you can’t connect with a vpn
I wonder if you created a new account while connected to another region with a vpn. Perhaps US-based user profiles are flagged so you can’t connect from anywhere with them.
Yeah I was curious about that too but I’m too lazy to try 🤣 not worth it without the friends I’ve made on there
Ok
Yea same. Too much hassle. I didn’t use it enough to go to those measures. Lol
Y u angry
Who’s angry? Your response was actually retarded. Lol
I wish Nostr had a solution ready last year. Huge missed opportunity
Y u being mean to me
That's not very nice corn
It’s your choice to be offended.
🥺
💯
You said “who cares” and there are reasons to care beyond your personal opinion of the app and users.

I don’t use anything besides Nostr, but I know that every Chinese company is controlled by the CCP.
Do you know if VPNs work?
It didn’t for me.
🥺
...So, the land of the Free, huh? 😐
Maybe they blocked VPNs? Not sure how they’d know a VPN user is from the US.
Might be a region tied to your user profile. I’m too lazy to try signing up with a new account though lol.
😭🫂
Maybe. Could be that they pre-flagged accounts that used a US IP address prior to the block, then any access attempt by that account regardless of IP is blocked. Or the fingerprinted devices somehow? 🤷♂️
I’m trying so hard to feel something
If you love government overreach then you should feel overjoyed.
So again, what's the difference between China and the USA?
I feel like this could have been prevented with a web app.
How long until the Senate will make VPNs illegal? 1-2 years?
nobody in my circles gives a fuck.
your emotional explosion is hilarious.
We've been making machine guns for year, and that ban is a little more egregious.
get real bro. total weeb milksop spineless pussy
This is the first time I have ever wanted to use tik tok for any reason.
