Banning TikTok is doing the right thing for the wrong reason.

Once you broach that people ask: Why is it acceptable to do to ourselves? Which moves people nervously close to asking: Why aren't domestic social media algorithms regulated? I find that a lot of these games are against opponents (real or imagined) that see the chessboard. They see moves ahead and realize that asking question x inevitable leads to y leads to z and z means that I lose money so let's act as if x is ridiculous or not feasible or crazy.
