Title asks it all. “Banning” TikTok – is that at all possible? I understand they can make it hard for folks to get the TikTok app by coercing companies to remove the app from the app stores, but that’s simply a minor inconvenience I would think – I can’t imagine anything can be removed from the internet, access prohibited, etc. What am I missing here?

You’re grossly overestimating the average person’s tech literacy. To circumvent a ban, you’d need to :
1. Sideload : People aren’t going to go out of their way to try and get something that’s been delisted from the app/play store.
2. VPN : Even if they sideload, you’d further need a VPN toggled on, in order for the app to work.
One of these alone, would be enough to knock off the “casual” user, basically the majority of the 150 million American users.
