That implies that social media is going to be banned; it isn't. The only thing this ban does is punish Tiktok for allowing content that revealed Israel's genocide.
The thing about freedom of speech is that we are only allowed speech that doesn't threaten the interests of the oligarchs. If any speech creates a real movement that threatens the oligarchy then the government takes swift action against it (hence outlawing socialism during the red scare)
