How to bypass blocking on TikTok, step-by-step instructions

TikTok is a service for watching and creating short videos. The huge popularity of the platform did not originate at all from the moment of creation, in 2014. A sharp and, at times, inexplicable jump occurred in the period from 2019. The platform limits the freedom of expression and opinion of a person so weakly that it is blocked in some “free” countries, such as the USA and the Russian Federation, explaining this as a “threat to national security”. We will not argue about the quality of such an explanation, but everyone can conclude for themselves 🙂 We do not call for any actions.

Thanks to TikTok, you can organize a super productive advertising campaign for a product, which captivates the interest of many commercial organizations. Of course, not only the commercial direction of TikTok is interesting to its users. Millions of hours of entertaining and educational content are what the application is downloaded for. Thanks to the unique mechanisms of the platform, after an hour of using the application, you will come across only those videos that may be of interest. Someone will come across dancing schoolgirls, and someone will come across cuts from humorous shows or sports news.
