MODERATORS
That just doesn't seem very enforceable.
How so? Have them use government equipment and restrict what gets installed on that equipment. It's not that hard.
They can use what they want on their personal devices, and the government can restrict access to their personal devices while they're on duty
Right, so not banning it on their devices, which would be hard to enforce.
Banning on personal devices would likely be unconstitutional, unless there's a nationwide ban. Banning on work devices is totally acceptable.

The fiasco is just political theater. Watch the right hand, don't see what the left hand is doing.
