The bill of rights isn't relevant here. TikTok is not a person foreign or domestic (citizens united not withstanding).
This would be hardly any different from the thousands of import bans the US has used over the years. It's just an app instead of a physical good.
We put import restrictions on groups of things. We ban cheese from France. We don't ban cheese specifically from Jacques Cheese Emporium in Lyon but all other French cheese is okay.
Hey, I'm okay with banning the import of all Chinese social media apps if you are ๐
Import bans are similarly terrible, in the vast majority of cases.
