    No my initial point is, that if you are boarding with how to setup a VPN you are probably not the main user that TikTok is generating money from.

    Plus companies will probably not use a platform that is banned in a country to target people in that country.

    And plus if you are willing to just Google or look up a single video tutorial about what a VPN is or how to set it up you are probably above of the average Internet user today.

      Were you around during the ps1 era when you could go to someone and change a chip to play copied discs? That’s the same thing here.

      Someone has the know-how, he shares that info and that’s it. There is no knowledge involved, and the person installing the VPN doesn’t even need to know what it is called or what it does, as long as it allows them to watch tiktok.

      Then that person tell their friends and it spreads. There is no technical knowledge.
