Do you think an European Citizens' Initiative to ban Twitter in the EU would be beneficial and have a possibility of being successful?

I'm sorry if this is not a good community for this question. If not please point me to one.

A tiktok ban style law would go against freedom of speech. Better to let the EC and the courts ban Twitter based on the existing, sensible DSA law.

Banning a platform doesn't take the right to speak freely

Yes, that's what the DSA says.

But it's not ok to ban a website just because there was a petition for it, there needs to be a better reason than that.
