      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…

        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.

          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.
