The #TikTok ban seems like kind of new territory for #censorship in the US, so given how many people use it I've added a script to my homelab server to check once per hour the current status of the TikTok domain.
I, personally, am not a fan of the service, but I'm even less of a fan of government bans.
Here's the status as of 17:19 EST in the US.
