I really wonder how these members of Congress propose to "ban" TikTok.

Remove it from the app stores? Great. No more security fixes for users.

Build a great Firewall of the US? Pretty unseemly for a "democratic" nation.

Make it illegal to have TikTok on your phone? Pardon me, citizen. I need to examine your device.

Failing a workable way to ban an app I'm afraid this is all just performative sabre rattling.

This will probably work better on iPhones. With Android you can sideload something. Google has been fighting with people allowing Android Auto to run all aps (e.g. YouTube and Netflix). They ban a version, you get the app, change a string, build, and install it. Now it looks like a new app to Google.
