Found a solution. It is to method swizzle the isEnabled method of UIDragInteraction to return NO in the situations your app may need. Note that normally it's not a good idea to method swizzle.

@implementation UIDragInteraction (TextLimitations)
+ (void)load
{
    static dispatch_once_t onceToken;
    dispatch_once(&onceToken, ^{

        Class class = [self class];

        SEL originalSelector = @selector(isEnabled);
        SEL swizzledSelector = @selector(restrictIsEnabled);

        Method originalMethod = class_getInstanceMethod(class, originalSelector);
        Method swizzledMethod = class_getInstanceMethod(class, swizzledSelector);

        BOOL didAddMethod =
        class_addMethod(class,
                        originalSelector,
                        method_getImplementation(swizzledMethod),
                        method_getTypeEncoding(swizzledMethod));

        if (didAddMethod) {
            class_replaceMethod(class,
                                swizzledSelector,
                                method_getImplementation(originalMethod),
                                method_getTypeEncoding(originalMethod));
        } else {
            method_exchangeImplementations(originalMethod, swizzledMethod);
        }
    });
}

-(BOOL)restrictIsEnabled
{
    if (restrictedCondition)
    {
        return NO;
    }
    return [self restrictIsEnabled];
}
