Of course you can shout whatever you want alone in your bedroom — this is true even in North Korea or Iran. If the government goes out of its way to make it difficult to publicize certain opinions, it is widely considered to be an infringement on freedom of speech.
Imagine if they shut down CNN and MSNBC for being the most anti-Trump major TV stations. Wouldn’t you think that was an infringement, even if it wouldn’t stop individuals from speaking their mind on the topic?

Banning a specific platform would only be making that difficult if there weren't other options. TikToj is one of many social media platforms, and given that industry's tendency to steal each others features and engagement models it isn't even particularly unique in what it offers. All that said, I'm not a fan of almost any government involvement and would much rather them stay in their lane. I just see this one as an overreach problem rather that a violation of free speech.
