   Does anyone know how the ban is actually enforced from a technical perspective?

     @GossiTheDog @paulsanders Right, but if log with a browser where I’ve cleared the cookies and have never used for Tik Tok I should still be able to get to the homepage? This is what I get

     @GossiTheDog @paulsanders I’ve never even heard of that 😭😭😭 but not the VPN? That’s good information, though. Thanks

     @GossiTheDog @paulsanders Oh I see. Yes, I’ve been trying to access it through @protonprivacy VPN

     I didn’t know you could block VPNs…I thought that was the whole point of them. Plus pornhub is blocked in various states in the U.S and VPNs work fine for that

     @GossiTheDog @paulsanders @protonprivacy Thank you giving an explanation. It kinda makes me think Tik Tok is intentionally making this as bad as possible to drive frustration….and of course here comes Trump tomorrow to save us…
