unless the bill has changed since the last time I read it, there were fines for hosting the service in US datacenters, and fines for companies allowing US data to exist in non-us datacenters. I don’t think you could interpret the bill as imposing a civil penalty to a user using a vpn and accessing it.
TikTok has hundreds of millions of users outside the US, they may just pull out [and then US users will VPN to use it like we’re fucking Iran]
VPNs aren’t that hard, but I feel like you overestimate the technical literacy of the general public in the US.
Doesn’t the bill include fines for using tiktok with a vpn?
