Until Musks goons he a hold of it
I don’t think he can, just due to the way it’s set up. Like, it’s not something that can be bought, and it’s not something the executive branch has any ability to unilaterally effect.
Couldn't they ban it from America? Like obv it doesn't collect data in the way tiktok does so they wouldn't have any sort of case, but I feel like they'd try to find something anyway.
Maybe?
It's relatively easy to tell an American company not to provide a product, like they did with Google/Apple and TikTok.
De-listing a website on a national level is considerably more difficult, especially without something equivalent to China's Firewall.
It's why Pirate Bay still exists.
