In my opinion, they understood it perfectly and reacted as they could, even by sending emails to their representatives to try and stop the ban on TikTok. HN users are understanding it as well: it's just a move by the US govt to try and keep an extremely valid, but not US-controlled, product out of people's hands. It seems to me that the only ones who don't understand the ban are those trying to justify it as anything other than what it is.
