    No one is enforcing it, it’s a play by TikTok. TikTok did it voluntarily. The server is still there, my wife logged in and saw the notice.

    It’s just theater.

      $10 says Trump influenced TikTok to go dark today to make him look better when it turns it back on tomorrow.

      We all know they didn’t actually have to do this.

      TikTok and its service providers are liable. “No one is enforcing” is meaningless, because they can still be prosecuted retrospectively if the US Government changes its mind.

        Yup. They even asked for clarification on the “no enforcement” and the Biden administration basically just said “it is what it is”.

        What big company is going to take a risk like that?
