Your argument is a bit too philosophical.

But going by that definition (intangible construct) plenty of ideas have been banned before without issue.

I do think there is merit in understanding that TikTok can be a threat vector unlike Facebook which is also a distinct threat vector.

Just as there is merit in accepting that this bill is a threat.

It's not even philosophical; it's sociological. Besides, the banning of ideas ventures too far into the IdeaCrime territory than I feel comfortable with.
