Sure France and other countries block domains, in US DOJ just takes them ower (the domains).
Most countries will, if push comes to show, find a way to "block" something they don't like and think they can politically get away with.
And I think that there is a good reason for ability for doing that to be there. Some countries will abuse that however.

There are other examples goolgle search awayThis censorship is so easily circumvented that it's laughable. Firefox's dns over https or 'echo 8.8.8.8 > /etc/resolv.conf' will do.
I think you mean 'echo nameserver 8.8.8.8 > /etc/resolv.conf'

"C:\ doesn't have an etc folder"
~Most people.
The problem here isn't any one person circumventing the 'censorship', it's influencing mass movements to prevent mass data-grabbing. If every tech-savvy Linux user uses TikTok, it's probably not that big of a deal as it's less than one percent of the population (and arguably the group most well-equipped to deal with the potential spying).
Some countries (like France for instance) impose DNS censorship on ISP to block some domains.
