TikTok servers go down in India after government ban

Simply sideloading the app won't do the trick

After a large, sweeping ban of 59 Chinese apps was issued by the Indian government yesterday, the biggest and hottest name on that list is now officially down in India: TikTok. The app's servers are no longer active, and VPNs don't seem to be working for everyone to circumvent the ban.

The clock has been (excuse the easy pun) tick-tocking on this since yesterday. Earlier today, TikTok's official Twitter account in India issued a statement saying it was in the process of complying with the government's decision and reiterated its stance on user privacy and Chinese government meddling.
