We're not talking about users accessing anything. We're talking about foreign social media operating in the US.

You said -

If they are not allowed in the US then a VPN that is based in Europe will allow you to view them.

They are allowed in the US. They want to be in the US. There are 320 million potential customers, most of whom have no idea what a VPN is in the US. You don’t just ignore the worlds third largest and richest country.

It whooshed because it’s an argument that makes little sense in this context. Relying on VPNs is a terrible business decision here.
