Does the article say anything about censorship? Usually bans like this are financial. So X offices would close in the EU and bank accounts seized and they wouldn't be allowed to conduct business (eg with advertisers) in the EEA

Petition to ban all people who think differently from me
It kind of invalidates what the EU Committee is all about. This is just stupid, and calling for a ban in a free world is more concerning than X.
Site doesn't load. I trust they're talking about banning it financially, not with a firewall, right?
They didn't ban it already? DOn't they have a filter list and they tell isps to block certain sites?

European politicians use X and its an assets for their governments. I doubt they are going to do much about it.
Petition calls to ban hurt feelings
