For now the Russian media and Twitter have worse influence on democracy than Tiktok ever did.

Those can be next. It's one baby step at a time.

You're not thinking like a politician - you're thinking like the point is to maintain democracy etc. Russia Today will never tell people there's a genocide in Gaza, while TikTok does tell them that, so the latter is much more dangerous to politicians.

I don't know why politicians have this weird attitude towards Gaza, but they do.

Also, the propaganda on Russia Today supports strong governments, so your job as a politician will be safe even if they swing the next election. The propaganda on TikTok does not.

Well if RT was banned for other instances of disinformation, then Tiktok should absolutely be banned for this one.

That isn't disinformation though? The disinformation in that case is the one being pushed by Western politicians.

The propaganda on RT is of a completely different nature than the propaganda on TikTok.
