How exactly would they ban them? DNS poisoning?

They just say you're not allowed to use them and that its illegal but can't really stop people from doing it.

I'm not sure if the title is clickbait... Because that's not in the following text. The article says they want to ban Nvidia from selling more hardware to them. It doesn't say anything about limiting availability of the service or anything.

If they do, my best guess is they do it like with TikTok. Change their stance on everything several times and then they don't really enforce anything.

you can just download the deepseek models and run them locally I don't see banning it being very effective
