Other than the GFoC (Great Firewall of China) scenario, how would they be banned? Maybe dropping all route broadcasts that contain TikTok's range[s]?
Even if were possible to ban them, you have the more likely scenario that they drop an endpoint on the dark web to get around that (see: Facebook[0]) and you're back at square one.

All it would realistically take is the app's removal from Google's and Apple's app store and null-routing their IP ranges would kill them for good. The intersection between people who use TikTok and people who are willing to use Tor for daily entertainment is probably a dozen people.
