Did I say it has been banned? No, I said that it is being banned, meaning still in the process. That is unless the owning entity sells it to another company that doesn’t have significant foreign government controls.
TikTok is going to appeal to the Supreme Court. Also, Trump is sympathetic to TikTok. This isn’t over.
Napster, the Pirate Bay, and WikiLeaks are all online still. Megaupload went away for awhile, but it has returned as Mega. Trying to ban a website as huge and popular as Twitter is a silly idea, especially considering the First Amendment protections.
Tik tok?
Literally being banned unless it is sold by the foreign company that owns it.
How much of Twitter belongs to Saudi Arabia due to their massive investment for Musk (South African) to buy it?
Pretty sure you could push the same foreign interference line.
TikTok hasn’t been banned. I live in the USA, and I can go on TikTok right now.

Read critically.

It’s almost like it’s been a news story for the last year or so…
Yes, and I asked for an example of a website that has been banned. Past tense.
The law has already been passed to ban it. It takes effect in 2025. So while it is still accessible, it has in effect already been banned.
I guess since it has to already have been banned, then I could just trot out Napster, pirate Bay, Wikileaks, and Megaupload…

They may still be online but that’s not what you asked for. They are blocked in the US, which is what you asked for.
Again, I am in the US, and I can go to these websites. What are you not understanding here?
They have to keep consistently changing domains because they are blocked…
The effectiveness of the ban was not in your question.
