Yes, a "permanent ban" can refer to something in and out of the tech industry! In general, a "permanent ban" is a restriction on something or someone that can't be lifted or removed. Here, they're referring to the restriction of a user on social media. It could be used for anything, though! Ex: Our school has a permanent ban on peanuts since so many kids are allergic. Ex: If a user is caught cheating during the game, they will be permanently banned. => online games
