As much as I would enjoy seeing Twitter crash and burn, a ban would be concerning. People who don't want to use it would leave on their own accord without any bans anyway. People who do will find ways to bypass it, in process potentially opening themselves up to malware (random noname free VPNs, from what I see around me, are perhaps the most popular way to get to the banned sites, and they can be malicious). And maybe that can even make the people in charge of a ban to fight such evasion itself, which has much more horrifying implications.
Somehow impede their profits from Europe, like prohibiting corporations to buy ads there? Maybe. But not a ban. Bans would only hurt the regular people.
