Managed to create a new account on desktop. I am unable to get logged off on the phone app or uninstall and reinstall. It's throwing up errors. US based accounts are still visible to those with accounts outside of the US.

This is one of the most restrictive bans I've ever seen on social media.

The practical implementation of this ban by tiktok is completely over the top. It's overcompliance to an extreme degree while praising Trump. It's clear that this is political at this point. This isn't simply an IP ban, it's an account level ban tied to accounts with registered US phone numbers.
Just tried on desktop. I was able to access the site with a VPN but once I logged in, it gave me the ban notice. I think this is specific to US based accounts and cannot be circumvented with a VPN.
