Thanks for keeping the “if not sold”. They’ve had many opportunities to make it legal, and they’ve fought it all the way. It’s not a “ban” as much as it is a forced sale.

I’m guessing next week we’re going to hear they spun it off to a totally american company, or meta taking it over or something. Then everyone will celebrate that it’s back.

I guess Biden isn’t going to enforce it and Trump has promised not to as well. So… This sucks.
