You state that the US gov is banning it for money as if that’s a fact. I’d love to see the evidence for that.

The irony is that China bans essentially all US social media. I guess these users don’t care a ton their selfish bans?

I read it as that's how they think of it. It doesn't actually matter if it's true or not.

OP didn't say "for money".

As per Mitt Romney, it was banned because TikTok contained too much anti-Israel content (remember, the push for the ban became really strong very soon after Oct 7 when the genocide began)
