I'm surprised TikTok isn't trying to push a web version, hosted outside the USA as an alternative to shutting down. While it would be difficult for a new social media service to gain traction that way, TikTok has a huge established audience.

Isn't https://www.tiktok.com exactly this?

They have a web version that's surprisingly capable. Not sure if tiktok.com will be blocked on Sunday.

I wonder about that: wouldn't the law force internet providers to blanket block any and all web versions of TikTok?
