    Wouldn’t a ban mean blocking their services so they’re not accessible? The above just sounds like a penalty.

      A ban means they can’t do the thing. The thing is not allowed.

      What you and I are describing are just two possible consequences for a ban.

      For example, I’m banned from driving on the opposite side of the road, but that doesn’t mean that I’ll be literally kicked out of the country for doing so.
