Why is my brain blanking on all possible puns about TikTok's time running out?

Anyway, this feels early. Especially in California; they're banning four and a half hours before they need to, and I assume it's even earlier in Alaska and Hawaii. Even here in the East Coast they banned an hour and a half before it was needed.

Well you don't want your engineers to be awake doing something at midnight Saturday, and you want some leeway if it doesn't work correctly so you don't have to deal with the consequences of breaking the law. Especially because there's significant pressure from your vendors who don't want to be liable.

Killing something only a few hours before it's legally required isn't early.
