Right, but the point isn't just to establish a ban for Instagram. The establishment of laws such as these creates a basis on which further policy can be enacted in the future. It's sort of like the eSafety Commissioner ordering Twitter to take down content worldwide - a big reason it did that was to test its own powers in a court of law. If a ban is successfully implemented on Instagram/Meta and survives any legal challenges, then it sets a legal precedent upon which further legislation can be enacted against whatever the next big social media platform is.
