That's not the point
The point is, without antitrust regulation, the FCC only has to go through two giant corporations.
After trust busting Apple and Google, we would theoretically have many more competing stores. The FCC would have to then ask each individual store for a takedown, perhaps even across different legal jurisdictions (read: outside of the USA) and therefore be unable to take down TikTok in such a centralized fashion

We should then turn around and ban all of the social media platforms regardless of nationality that does any sort of harvesting/manipulation of the data that their users are sharing in any other form than to display that information in the expected ways for the site to have purpose. Any social platform doing things in the shadows with user's info directly input by them or scraped,tracked,inferred,gathered,etc should be banned from existence.
