TikTok in the US is no longer using Chinese parent company ByteDance’s content delivery network (CDN) following its temporary shutdown over the weekend.
Network observability firm Kentik noted that, when the site returned on Sunday following a 14-hour outage, all traffic was being routed via third party CDNs only. This could be a move to avoid sanctions under a new law which is set to ban the app from the US.

Since people called it, this was never a shutdown. Just a publicity stunt with convenient timing to cover for a technical migration.
