HotGarbage commented on Ask HN: What would a TikTok ban look like?    · Posted by u/HotGarbage

There's an implicit assumption here that the ban enforcement will involve/require adversarial technical approaches.

But I think it'll be similar to India's 4-year-old ban on TikTok where the local corporate entity itself has cooperated with the ban to avoid legal repercussions. TikTok has been detecting IP addresses from India and showing a legal notice that it's banned in the country due to a government/court order.

Ah, I wasn't aware of the India ban or how it was handled.

I guess I assumed TikTok might try to keep operating in the US out of defiance.

It's a shame NYC 311 doesn't include attachments from reports. I'd love to create a ratty version of https://poolette.pages.dev/

For others who closed the tab too quickly: it takes about 30 seconds before the black screen is replaced by loaders!

Good point; there's only a single server handling all the requests so things can be a bit slow depending on the time of day. And there are browser limits to the number of concurrent connections.

Mobile browsers with native HLS support are faster as well. Those without need to load everything via https://github.com/video-dev/hls.js/ which slows things down.

I'll try to add some UI feedback so people don't give up too quickly.
