The video sharing app faces being banned in the US unless it severs ties with its China's ByteDance.

    Won’t people just continue using the app? Wouldn’t it be as easy as side loading future installs?

      You overestimate the tech literacy of the majority.

        If the tutorial can’t be boiled down to a 30 second video, tiktok users aren’t going to be able to comprehend it.

        It’s excruciatingly easy to side load on android, to the point where it is outright dangerous for laymen.

        All it will take is a 30s tiktok showing how to side load and they’re done, tech literate or not

      I expect that Tiktok will strart distributing the app as an apk on their website.

      Worse. Unless they’re going to start the Great American Firewall you can just go to the website.
