I suppose people could use a VPN to get round this, but how many would go to the trouble & expense? They may also face personal sanctions for accessing proscribed sites and the free VPN providers are said to be dodgy.
So, whilst people could risk doing it, I think that it would seriously damage the viability of a website. Trump threatened to block tik toc in the USA unless it was sold to an American company.

There are plenty of free VPN's that are not dodgy, even Opera has a built in VPN that is only one click to use. If you have to install a VPN all you do is run the software they provide, definitely not rocket science. I use a VPN for all sorts of reasons when i need to. A simple google search will give anyone after a VPN all the info they need.
