I dislike TikTok but should you really be banning platforms you don't like?

Sanction them if they misbehave, yes. Prevent most of the population from communicating using it? Absolutely not.

Americans have weird priorities when it comes to freedom. The mental gymnastics I've been seeing trying to justify a ban of a platform to a massive population of people is nuts.

No, it isn't "actually upholding" freedom of speech to ban TikTok.

lol you think “freedom of speech” includes foreign adversary right to harvest American citizen data?

Exactly. I only want my data to be harvested by the NSA. It feels more patriotic.
