    isn’t the title misleading?

    tiktok isn’t banned in france. Paris is trying to reimpose itself on New Caledonia by all means. A correct title would be: Tiktok ban in New Caledonia makes VPN usage soar

    it’s probably temporary. Either they go free and tiktok is back, or Paris regains control and tiktok is back 🤷

      FTFY. It’s not really a “correct” title if it completely obscures the aggressor.

        debate about New Caledonia’s status is “none of my business”.

        vous étés en Nouvelle-Calédonie peut-être ?
