Tik Tok removed platform access from their US userbase voluntarily.

This was their choice.

The law is literally not even being enforced.

Noteworthy thing I haven't seen mentioned here: They apparently only removed app access. The website still works just fine.

The website didn’t work from US IPs last night, but it’s back already.

Multiple apps must have done so.

That's what I see when I search for Marvel Snap on the playstore. Someone mentioned it was down as well earlier

Because they are distributed by a company that is owned by Bytedance. You know. The people who own Tik Tok.

I hear that businesses existing in the face of unenforced laws are really stable and enduring. \s

Large businesses literally operate in conflict with the law until the law directly forces consequences, usually in monetary form. So, until they get caught and are forced not to do the thing. Explain to me why this is any different.
