This feels like a “draw the rest of the owl” argument.

This is the hard part. The US doesn’t have the great firewall of China. As far as I know, the only way I’ve ever seen the US government block a site is by actually seizing the domain.

Is that what they do here? I don’t see them reasonable enforcing this at all DNS level. People will just switch to an alternative DNS provider.

Think about the average TikTok user.

Getting it off of the iOS app store basically eliminates it as an option for that demographic.
