TikTok users shrug at China fears: ‘It’s hard to care’
BBC News says TikTok has been banned on government networks and devices in the US, Canada and the European Union. But are the moves having any effect?
When TikTok would not load on her university’s wi-fi network earlier this year student Liz Barr was stymied – but not for long.
She soon figured ways around the block using personal mobile data or a virtual private network (VPN). The block had been introduced after state officials in Maryland banned the video app on government networks, citing national security concerns.
“I was annoyed, because I live here and I get bored,” says the 18-year-old, who is studying computer science and creative writing at St Mary’s College of Maryland. “But now it works, so it’s not that big of a problem.”
