IDK is the average TikTok user really installing VPN software on it's phone?

Yes. From the article a, 2500% spike in VPN usage.

TikTok is not a platform for political discussion

Yet, despite that, it's working as one. Effectively.

Yet, despite that, it’s working as one. Effectively No it don't! It is a platform designed to get peoples attention and forward it to a scam add. Everything that goes beyond surface level is not suited for this platform and sorted out and even worst it's highly controlled by the chines government. This is not a platform for political discussion and public dispute. Maybe people think they could use it for that but that's a big mistake!
