TikTok Plans to GO DARK on Sunday…


It looks like TikTok is officially DONE in the US unless there’s a last-minute buyer or intervention from the Supreme Court. As such, the site is preparing to go dark for Americans on Sunday and any users who try to circumvent the ban via VPN could get penalized. HARSH.

Accessing TikTok via VPN after the ban is illegal and could result in punishment, with the US government’s national security concerns determining the severity of legal action.

TikTok’s shutdown will cause widespread “wailing, weeping, and gnashing of teeth” among Gen Z and Gen Alpha users, highlighting the platform’s deep emotional impact.

The sudden loss of TikTok will lead to significant unemployment and financial instability for creators who built their livelihoods around the platform.
