@Wuzzy I don't agree with this as an absolute. There *may* be times when censoring something / blocking something is not terrible.
In the case of TikTok, specifically, though -- We should be setting strict rules on what companies can do with user data, etc. Rules that apply equally to U.S.-based companies and non-U.S. companies -- and if a company like TikTok doesn't comply after that, then blocking it is a reasonable step.
But skipping the step of creating reasonable rules is bad.
