Banning product?
They should. But many of these companies also control news flow.
Imagine the narrative of "Ireland blocks speech by banning Facebook". Not to mention all the power that other tech companies that rely on those sites for ads have. Taylor Swift traveling there would immediately force Ireland to reopen that social media platform, easily.
Country looks bad. Tech company gets to lol. Fines still get unpaid.
It's a shit situation.
