No, the offer of source code must be explicit, not just available if anyone happens to ask.

The offer yes, but the code does not need to be that easy to publicly access. Of course once the first person to request the source via that offer gets it (assuming they come good in that respect) it might be made more easily available.

Sure, but did anyone installing the TikTok streaming software get such an explicit offer? If not, then, hey, GPL violation.
