Question
Hello.
I'll be grateful for your help.
Is it possible to use -ing forms after the verbs "ban", "prohibit" and "forbid", for example:
1)The government bans funding such organizations.
2)The state prohibits using such technologies.
3)French law prohibits denying the Armenian henocide.
Thank you very much for help.

Yes. All are correct.

All of your -ing words are gerunds and used as nouns. They are direct objects in these sentences.
