the app wasn't banned, the company refused to split American operations off.

... And because they refused, is now banned.

So, yes it was.

no, they were given the option.

  1. split into two companies
  2. close down operations in the US

that's pretty cut a dry they chose to end operations in the US. The US didn't ban them.
