    I hear you, but those are classes of apps, not specific apps. And none of those laws would appear to apply to TikTok.

          That’s an entirely different thing though, and it’s like saying the government should block the Play Store because you can use it to download TikTok. The Russian website example is more like the government requiring ISPs to block certain domains, or requiring DNS services to change their nameservers, and we already do that with DMCA takedowns.
