    It’s downloading an app off of an app store and turning it on. Stop trying to force your narrow perspective onto everyone else.

    People who are subject to censorship, in time find a workaround. Downloading a VPN app with a big green button to turn it on is not rocket science.

    There are probably lots of VPN companies targetting “tiktok” as a keyword to advertise and increase their user base. So they come up first on appstores and search results.

    Now, go ahead and call people searching google is not average tiktok user.

    But where that data goes after you turn the VPN on, is a different topic on its own. Maybe China itself is running a whole lot of VPN networks from shell companies.

      That’s exactly what I just said? My grandma could just do it. That’s no effort at all. Still so many people refuse to do just one little extra step or think about why something is not working anymore. That’s just reality.

      If people start questioning those things that would be a good thing. And again people not using a VPN is not my main argument here.
