I don’t use Tiktok so no intention to test out the tool. However after a quick look at its Github, it appears to be a VERY new tool, so I highly doubt if @anon80779245 was intended to “recommend” or “suggest” this tool to be included in PG.

[image] TinFoilHat: I don’t use Tiktok so no intention to test out the tool. Me neither, but just from opening the site it seems very limited compared to the other front-end websites Privacy Guides recommends. For example, being forced to take either a link or watch a random video, some sort …

Have you heard about it being banned in the United States potentially as soon as Sunday?

Yes I do, but VPN should be able to get pass that, as long as you are using web version, isn’t it? Edit: Never thought of it before, but for the frontends, if they use US IP / hosted in US then they they might not be able to operate / fetch the content, isn’t it?

Sure, but it will be hard to share links with other people. I assume that is a common use-case for people, but I don’t use TikTok myself. For example, I don’t really use xcancel.com to browse Twitter myself, but I use it to share links to Twitter all the time.

Maybe we could discuss the TikTok ban here: TikTok Sell-or-Ban discussion?
