That proposal is not compatible with US propaganda strategy. The US does not have a ministry of propaganda to design AI algorithms, or provide the pre-requisite adds for TikTok. It isnt set up to oversee the internal workings of the company algorithm.
Instead, it relies on US citizens embedded in US companies to push US ideals in social media. When it does presumably conduct social engineering attacks, it does it through bots and buying adds on platforms.
Last, I don't think the US government expecting to have to actually ban Tiktok. I think it is expecting to win, and get to have it's cake and eat it too. This would be the least heavy handed option.
