Idk if the ban is justifiable or not, but the singling out of TikTok is definitely not arbitrary. They have quickly become one of the most prominant social media networks and are 80% owned by a China - a nation who the US is actively engaged in a trade war with - one who is legally allowed to compel the company to provide access to private data or modify the platform for the ruling party's benefit in secret - one who has a long history of using data, propaganda, and force to suppress ideological dissenters.
Whether or not the ban is appropriate, there is nothing arbitrary about it.
