GLOBAL ROLLOUT PAUSED: ByteDance paused Seedance 2.0's international rollout on 2026-03-15 after the Disney cease-and-desist (2026-02) and a formal US Senate letter (Senators Blackburn + Welch, 2026-03-17) demanding an outright shutdown over copyright-infringement claims. China + existing CapCut-integrated markets (Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, Brazil, Mexico) still have access. Standalone Dreamina Western-market rollout is now indefinite
