> Except this is exactly the same power every popular domestic company has, including every other social media platform. Yeah, but that's sort of the point. With domestic companies, the US government has more levers they can pull and more influence they can wield back. That's why the "TikTok Ban" isn't an outright ban, it's forcing the sale to a non-Chinese entity, which would be acceptable to them. I'm not trying to paint the US government as some sort of saints here, and to be clear it is ultimately about power and influence. That said, even without really agreeing with it, I can sort of see the logic behind this move.
