  It will be enforced through the app stores, I imagine. You raise a good point, though, that people will still be able to access TikTok through mobile web.

    Could be the beginning of a nationwide firewall type system like they have in China. I feel like most current methods of blocking an app could be pretty easily circumvented.

    Beyond the government sniffing every packet and blocking TikTok-related ones, I’m not sure how else they could effectively block the app.

    And that’s a very bad path to start down.

    I don’t doubt that TikTok would eventually post an apk on its website after being banned from app stores, so app should be a non-issue too.

      But in the U.S., most people use iPhones :(
