If US users continue to use the app via VPN, will that hinder the CCPs ability to weaponize it? If so, this outcome may be a good middle ground.

The whole thing with social media is network effects though. The added friction of a VPN, though small, is just so much larger than "click download, open app"

You won’t need a vpn. TikTok isn’t getting blocked. It’s getting delisted from the App Store. The app will still be on your phone.
