This 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).

Technically it does. It should be in c:\windows\system32\drivers
