      isn’t the title misleading?

      tiktok isn’t banned in france. Paris is trying to reimpose itself on New Caledonia by all means. A correct title would be: Tiktok ban in New Caledonia makes VPN usage soar

      it’s probably temporary. Either they go free and tiktok is back, or Paris regains control and tiktok is back 🤷

        Say what you want about tiktok but damn if it isn’t extremely effective at sending information out of reach from governments, I don’t know what it is. You can see they fear it hard.

            So long as it’s not about Tiananmem Square.

              It’s directly controlled by Chinese government so please don’t tell me TikTok would be out of reach… maybe for US Government :D It is only effective in spreading stuff that CCP supports or doesn’t effect them.
