Clickbait title. They are not banned. Blackberry won a patent case but there is no reason the apps can't be changed.

(Current HN thread title: "Court Bans Whatsapp, Facebook and Instagram in Germany")

The title indeed sounds quite clickbaity.

I chose to use the exact translation of the original article's title as the title of the HN thread since "Süddeutsche Zeitung" usually is quite a reliable and transparent resource.
