If US users continue to use the app via VPN, will that hinder the CCPs ability to weaponize it? If so, this outcome may be a good middle ground.

The whole thing with social media is network effects though. The added friction of a VPN, though small, is just so much larger than "click download, open app"
But people might already have a VPN installed, thanks to the porn laws. Porn is the most powerful force on the Internet.
You won’t need a vpn. TikTok isn’t getting blocked. It’s getting delisted from the App Store. The app will still be on your phone.
That's more of a blocker then. It won't get updates and new users.
This is not a good outcome, this is Meta shooting itself in the face.
