Re:TikTok says it is restoring service for U.S. users

Glad lives are back, I was actually inspecting the traffic using my PiHole from when my GF's US tiktok was browsing and when my European account was attempting to connect. Both of them his a CDN within the US but after that it looks like we had traffic going to different versions. Her's was routing to a tiktokv.us while mine was sending traffic to tiktokv. I'm not sure if this has been in place before or if I'm just realizing now but I believe a split-brain scenario is pretty likely.

While it’s back in the US, it seems to be a separate version from the rest of the world. My account is European and I can no longer log in within the US without a VPN out of the country. My GFs account is American and she can login but has lost access to some accounts and the ability to watch livestreams which my version of the app still has. I wonder if the 13 hour “outage” was for a larger scale data migration for a separate US version

Couldn’t this be used to prevent VPN use? If so, this is drastically overstepping into dangerous territory regarding online surveillance.

It was but that shouldn’t matter, the coolest part about these models is they should eventually be able to figure out a game like wordle themselves. If the user explains how to play the game, it shouldn’t matter when the model was trained
