[Outages-discussion] tiktok back? not seeing it.

[Bryan Holloway]

I think we're confusing semantics here:

Our customers still have no access to TikTok in the US. I was merely 
asking if others were having the same issue.

The answer appears to be no, and I've reached out to AS396986 to try and 
understand why and expedite resolution.

Your assertion that everything "worked as designed" is arguably 
incorrect seeing as how we normally do ~30Gbps of traffic inbound, and 
we're still at zero.

Thank you to everyone else who offered up their help, insight, and 
advice both in-line and off.

Cheers,
