Are you basically saying that TikTok the app isn’t being banned, but just made hard to find or use?

I am saying the business and finance of tiktok can be regulated but not the app itself. Appstores can ban it on their own but a law banning an app from an appstore is equivalent to a law banning a book from a library

I think you are trying to say that books can’t be banned... but books can legally be banned from libraries.

For example historically the US has banned books for being sexually obscene, demeaning to a particular group, or liable to foster communist sympathies.
