    AFAICT, TikTok didn’t have to do anything. Looks like the law is all about preventing distribution of the app. So… why’d they shut it down?

      It was a stunt. Incoming administration has been saying all week they were gonna “save” it. They pulled the plug temporarily as an FU to Biden and support for the incoming fascist that they know they can control better (with stunts just like this).
