I agree with the activist spirit! But you have to realize that the incentives of legislators are to first create a strong economy and to maintain the dominance of the US tech sector. If you come to them with a plan that will seriously harm their operations then you won’t even get a meeting.

It wouldn't be the worst thing if tommorow Social Media was effectively banned. It's done enough wrong in the world

Nope. Only specific instances. And in this case POTUS has the power when it comes to foreign entities. It is enshrined in the constitutions. By the way, India and China are even doing this without even a single judicial recourse.

The powers that POTUS has over international trade (including tariffs, blocking imports, blocking transactions) were actually granted by Congress through various pieces of legislation.
