Isn't that what a VPN is for?
If someone is savvy enough to install from outside of the normal install mode especially on iOS, wouldn't that imply that they are at least aware of a VPN?
There are lots of good free vpns out now, so it's not unlikely. People that spend hours on it can follow a guide for 10 minutes. It will lower the amount of people on it for sure but anybody who wants to can bypass it easily. It will probably mean more for creators and stuff, and their us bank accounts maybe won't be able to accept money from tk if they're sanctioned.
I can’t imagine anyone using a VPN just for TikTok. Not to mention free vpns are garbage and don’t work well.
