It's always annoyed me that it's been commonly referred to as a ban, when it's actually a forced sale.

It will be a different product for the consumer, so it's effectively a Tiktok ban in my eyes...

You think all my Palestinian and adjacent Tiktokers will still be in my feed once it's sold?

Probably? There's a decent amount of people on reddit calling for the dissolution and expulsion of Israel. US based companies rarely censor on the whims of the feds.
