Because it's been an incredibly successful propoganda vector for the youth vote.

TikTok’s valuation remains contested, with estimates varying from US$20 billion ($31.8 billion) to more than US$300 billion, depending on whether its algorithm is factored in.
The algorithm increases the price by more than $280 billion. And what kind of algorithm? One that changes its high based on how you interact with it, to always try and get your dopamine flowing to keep you interacting longer. If it were a real substance, it would be the most addictive drug to ever exist.
You could argue if xai paid xitter 45 billion in their latest
money laundering operationacquisition, then TikTok is worth at least ten xitters -

I wouldnt trust the words of a Palantir exec if they said the sky was blue, but even accepting what they say, its just that the hamas attacks gave the ban impetus to move forwards. By his own words the ban already had bipartesan support and executive approval before that.
The headline that it was "about" Isreal rather than China is a massive reach.
