The TikTok shutdown is locking out non-US users, too
Briefly

Many users outside the US are reporting access issues with TikTok, which may be linked to their VPN settings or account origin in the US.
One UK user reported seeing a US-only message because their VPN was routing through Miami. Changing the VPN location resolved the issue for them.
Some users who now live outside the US are still affected, with reports from countries like Canada, Germany, and Australia despite not creating accounts in the US.
A Mozambican user speculated that they lost access because they circumvented their country's monetization restrictions by setting their account region to the US.
