the article told all source IPs can be tracked back to bytedance. Wouldn't it be possible to block them? maybe even blocking all IPs of a specific ASN
They can be tracked back one by one but if you have any amount of traffic it's a constant game of cat and mouse.
You can block entire ASNs until they start using residential proxies provided by less ethical companies. Then you end up blocking all of France or destroying user experience by enforcing a captcha on everyone.
