The policy states "content that contains links of usernames" will be subject to removal.

I think the "cross-posting" that the article is referring to is e.g. downloading a TikTok to reupload it to Twitter, or screenshotting Instagram or whatever. Elon can't risk LibsOfTikTok's entire account falling under violation.

I could be wrong about that interpretation of the policy though, because the wording is probably intentionally vague.

TikTok isn’t on the banned platforms at all, which they claim is because its content is different, but may really be because Elon can’t antagonize China.

Of course this is also banned under EU law. (of course it is, everything is banned under EU law)
