This is the real reason for the ban.
"National security" just translates to "public opinion of the war(s)"
Its more simplified to "lack of ability to control the narrative" and also "My billionaire masters cant turn a profit from it"
It has diverted traffic and money away from sites such as Twitter, FB and Amazon after TT videos called them out and offered alternatives or avoiding completely/anticonsumerism perspectives.
And yet they were trying to ban it years before any of that happened...

The last time the US was not involved in a war was 1998
