Change it to $100 or $1M or $1B, it doesn't matter. If you don't want to sell your house you have the right to not sell it.

Eminent domain is a thing. You can absolutely be forced to sell your house to make way for a public project. Hell, after the Kelo decision, you can even be forced to sell it for private benefit.

So going by your own example, if the government tells you "sell your house or we are going to seize it via eminent domain", are you not allowed to say "the government is using eminent domain to take my house from me"? Now replace "eminent domain" with "ban" and "house" with "TikTok".
