Can a US company serve sanctioned groups?

Does it matter if nobody does anything about it?

I mean, this seems pretty easy to enforce. "Mr Musk, why is there a blue check mark next to a terrorist's X account? Are you doing business with sanctioned groups?" X isn't some international public service. Its a private US company subject to laws.

It's still dependent on someone actually doing it.

Of course they can, the US government allows free speach, they won't stop any US citizen saying anything.
