But it’s not just one thing in that scenario. It’s a Gordian knot of a bunch of things using some particular communication protocol among many other communications protocols. Government bans work best on the public when they have one clear thing to propagandize. Like “cannabis is really really bad!” or “Musk isn’t above the law, so we will ban X until he complies to prevent disinformation!” It’s much harder to play perpetual whack-a-mole with a bunch of different things. The propaganda narrative becomes diffused and unclear, the cost to enforce goes up, people might not even know what underlying technologies different apps use, etc.
