The govt isn't getting money from it?

They are, tho. TikTok still has to pay taxes.

The government can't control the narrative with it. Specifically the tipping point when they decided to ban it was when they realized people were free to call the genocide in Gaza a genocide without the US being able to overwhelm the platform with pro-Israel propaganda.

A government can control the narrative with TikTok, demonstrably.
