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.
