Well, of course. They aren't banning Facebook, Instagram or YouTube. That's exactly how they want it.

they aren't even banning tiktok, at least they're trying not to. What they're trying to do is force a sale specifically to US government insiders. They're seizing it. They want that sweet, sweet propaganda and data mining for themselves.
