I bet other platforms are likely doing something similar behind the scenes, likely pushed by the White House. When I was still working in IT Cybersecurity in 2023, we (large government defense contractors) were having to remove TikTok from all company devices at the orders of the White House/DoD, long before the larger talks of bans last year. I could see them pushing for this too, and logging the results.
Which is interesting, because when those guys were out of power, they complained about exactly that kind of government behaviour. They filled a lawsuit, and won an injunction.

Every accusation is a confession.
