Maybe but governments are slow to react. There will be a couple of months of relative freedom. Then we'll have to find new apps again.

I doubt that. They're slow to legislate. Not to react when the law is already on the books. This is as simple as their OPSEC community flagging the apps (which they do already), and then adding it to a list of apps they likely already have of apps that violate the terms and sending that information to the relevant app platforms.

They literally already have a list of apps that government employees aren't allowed to use. This is not any different.
