What about Snapchat, twitter, Facebook/Instagram?

Those applications are banned within China and on CCP owned devices, I don't see why a U.S. state can't ban TikTok.

That's not really a very persuasive argument.

China has rules that apply to all social media apps operating there, including rules on data storage, data sharing, and moderation. Those applications are not willing to follow those rules, and so aren't allowed in China. TikTok is willing to follow those rules, so is allowed.
