When the US Government knows you've learned too much from TikTok

THE BAN

Just My Thoughts

I have no idea where to crash out about this, so here you go.

what's going on here?

I keep experiencing this, what kind of glitch could explain this? it goes away when I scroll most times.

tiktok ads infecting the app?

is this happening to anyone else where they fall for one of those ads that have the fake slideshow to make you scroll to their site and then scroll for a little and get a pop up saying that you need to verify your age or that youve won something its not just me its my friend too we are both using an iphone and live far from each other i have attached screenshots of what these popups look like and one of these is from my friend you are unable to close out of these popups unless you restart the app

TikToks API is utter garbage and preventing you to be found

tldr; TikTok hides your profile from outside the US when not using the app Most of y'all probably never though of this or even have to care, but since I'm working on a chat overlay with tiktok support this has to be said: the way we can get the chat messages from livestreams, or even the most basic profile info is completely cursed. Since tiktok doesn't even give official endpoint for most things what I had to build is little more than a web scraper, but wait: some features need to be signed, so I have a chrome window open to pretend to be an actual user and reuse the cookies set to sign all other requests... BUT EVEN THAT is not enough, because for some reason, SOME and only some US based users aren't visible from outside of the US AT ALL... So people not using the app may not see your content if they are not US based. Haven't heard anyone talking about this so far, so now you know
