This is just blatantly false, if an organization is committing crimes or doing something the government dislikes then the government will sanction it, like it has done with almost every Russian Oligarch's business, or front businesses for terrorist groups.

I'm pretty sure the whole point of banning TikTok is that the government is alleging that TikTok has engaged/can be forced to engage in abusive or illegal practices.

Mitt Romney actually said the main reason everyone was on board for the ban was due to the sheer amount of Palestinian support on the app

I allege that our government engages in abusive or illegal practices.

While that is true, it is also a whataboutism. What does your comment have to do with the conversation? What did it contribute to the conversation?
