    Given the ability of social media to do sudden great harm, probably a good thing

    they didn't ban social media though. they will be probably let other socials to move into the vaccum as long as they don't censor those in power

      Well, you only need to go after the largest one at any one time to make a difference.

      It might not be a signal that the country is against social media platforms in all flavors just larger ones that are based outside the country that can be influenced by a foreign nation might be something to go after first.
