She also charged a rapper, don’t remember his name, and that case is still ongoing. She loves the RICO charge apparently.

When your only tool is a hammer, all your problems look like nails RICO.

Just like all laws that are passed to go after one specific group, the criteria for RICO charges has been widened so as to go after another disfavored person or group. That is the way it always works. Remember the Patriot Act and how we were told it would never ever be used against anyone but designated foreign terrorist organizations? Or the CIA was originally created to investigate only foreign threats?

The proposed ban on Tik-Tok will eventually be used against Twitter, Truth Social, and other media sites that allow information not approved by the government.

Anytime a law is passed its goal is not always as stated. There is always an underlying reason that is not clear in the language of the bill itself. But the outcome is always to give government more power and to take away the freedom of one group of citizens or another. And those laws are always selectively enforced by the power of government officials with a gun in their hand.
