Well Lads,
Woke up his morning went to doom scroll for a bit to be told I can’t use tiktok due to the us ban.
I’m here at home in the midlands, set my tiktok up here during covid like everyone else, I did use a vpn but set to other eu countries but so does my partner and he’s not kicked off. Turned off the vpn still no luck.
Anyone else?
Just me ?
No idea but I’m guessing they just detected you were using a VPN and blocked you just incase you were US based. Try install the app on a different device.
It’s a good thing. Take the opportunity to get away from it.
Tiktok clips told me that outages reported from Greenland and Inishturk.
Check to see if your app/play store is set to the US
My wall clock goes TikTok if I’m close enough…
No loss whatsoever tbh, looking forward to when X & Meta get the similar treatment in Ireland.
I can still use TikTok in Galway, no VPN.
I saw someone suggesting that accounts set up with email contact could be blocked, but not those with a non-US phone number.
Nope. Never used it.
Didn’t use Twitter much once, now not at all since it was bought by the current owner and he decided free speech meant whatever he wanted, and that included deplorables.
Now stopped using Facebook, as it’s owners also want ‘free speech without consequences’.
Not interested in being the product (yes, I’m on Reddit, the irony not lost) with these companies and their money at any price approach.
You say “midlands”.
Oklahoma? Missouri?
My partner right beside me with the same vpn same settings and I also turned it off to check if that would work
I agree shouldn’t be glued to it. Nor Any other app…
Also remember if someone is chronicle online like you are suggesting they’ll just mitigate over to another app…
It might sound like a kiddies app to you but it has some very useful resources recipes, at home workouts, diy advice, all sorts of useful information not just brain rot which I agree there is plenty of.
But having said that, I’m not in the US, Spend very little to no time over there, my phone has never been stateside so like it shouldn’t affect me not even a us citizen.
I’d be interested to see the evidence supporting this statement
Nobody calls those places the midlands ye gowl
No lad, as in Leinster Ireland
Like I’m not going to give out where I live as irelands fairly small.
So Offaly Westmeath Longford area of the country
Try it on a device that has never used tiktok before, without the vpn on.
Definitely I do be on Reddit too much 
It’s not even the content on Tik Tok that I have concerns about, although brainrot is definitely a thing. It’s more the incidious way they people get addicted to it.
When you see people can’t go to the toilet without it or even drive along with it on, there is something wrong. I’ve never felt the need to doomscroll Reddit when driving.
