    My guy, open the article for a moment. Just like TikTok, when you open the app it simply gives a message that they cannot operate in the US. It’s the first image in the article.

    So no, the apps are not functional unless you use a VPN to get a non-US IP address.

      That wasn’t the question. We all know they are not functioning currently. “Is that the letter of the law or is Bytedance choosing to stop them from functioning?”
      Not, “what does this article say about their current functionality?”

        My daughter reports as of this morning (in California) it’s working again. No more splash message like she was seeing last night.

          Oh good, I have not been able to find my Chinese spy on 小红书 so I was hoping to send him a message on TikTok today.
