Seems difficult to ban TikTok alone without violating the First Amendment. If you more generally banned exploitative data practices then you’d interfere with other social media companies as well.

I think legally, all they can really do is force tiktok to cut all ties with the chinese government if they want to operate in the US.

Is there any precedent for the US banning foreign press?
If not, I think that speaks volumes.

There's a lot of precedence for regulating commerce based on who owns the company and what country the owner is in.
