Why not both? It's harder to write, agree on, and pass the regulation that you suggest.

It is hard to imagine this ever passing given how popular TikTok is in the US. Certainly strong privacy regulations are more popular among the people than banning apps.

The vast majority of users are in the <25 demographic, which means they basically don't vote. Also only a minority of Americans even use TikTok. It could easily be more popular to ban it (I have no data though).

I think the fact that so many people use TikTok shows how little the average voter cares about privacy.
