Ask HN: How did (technically) India block TikTok?

from the ask-hn dept.

Was it just a request to stop distribution through the app store or was it something else?

TikTok has been taken off of both playstore and appstore. ISPs and telcos have been asked to block traffic to these apps

Is that a DNS level block then?
