Cut off the money. Make it illegal for American residents and businesses to do business (exchange money) with the company. Individuals would still be able to post, view it, etc. But with no advertising, no sponsorships, the business model disappears. There would likely be no need to go further.

Have you wondered how many countries will use the same strategy after the US starts to ban internet companies? That's the dream of 10 in every 10 governments around the world. I'm glad the US is starting to destroy their own big tech empire with this.
