This is all theatre, trump is going to "save it" after starting the initial push to ban it (for the wrong reasons) to pretend he did something for you. Worst part is that all of the no/low info voters and non voters will eat it up.
It's the equivalent of a person pushing you into the middle of the street and at the very last second, that same person tells the drivers to all stop. "Wow, I owe you my life!"
They're shutting down instead of blocking new downloads, seems like a stunt. But the blocking of new downloads is obviously happening if SCOTUS doesn't step in...that's the law. That's just what the law says.
The law prevents other American companies from hosting their infrastructure so they don't really have much to do other than shut down and offer the minimum required to off-board employees and contractors.
Do it, just do it with no second thoughts. They can't, they will lose all their business.
Please and thank you!
