The TikTok ban has started.

You can still access TikTok content if you use a VPN to make it look like you're outside of the US, but if you have a US account, you will not be able to login.

@evacide I predict this ban has the immediate effect of tens of millions of people suddenly installing some shady "free" VPN software on their mobile devices.

@briankrebs @evacide I tried a few reputable VPNs and I don’t have a tiktack account and I still get edge suite errors.

@briankrebs @evacide They're doing bans at the account level -- people with accounts tied to the US (e.g., by phone number) can get the logged-out experience via VPN, but can't log in. This is probably not technically required by the law, but after the legislative stampede to vote for the ban in the first place, and pretzel logic from SCOTUS upholding it, I can't blame them for playing it safe.

@briankrebs @evacide So the Chinese (or someone) will be able to see all of your traffic, no just TikTok. Very clever.
