Ahhh....hmm. Kindof a point-and-shoot sort of thing, isn't it? Blow away/take over (well, "unrelated parties may buy," ha ha) any app associable with Russia, North Korea, Iran, or China ๐Ÿค” 'Course, they can edit that list too.

Nah, I'm sure nothing could possibly go wrong. US government never abuses powerful, broad powers it gives itself ๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ‘

The only social platform that doesn't try to actively censor Pro-Palestinian voices. What a coincidence that it's suddenly a security risk.

U.S. lawmakers can't force anything on foreign corporations.

If the bill passes in the House and Senate and is signed into law by President Biden, TikTok would eventually be dropped from app stores in the US if its owner doesn't sell. It also would lose access to US-based web-hosting services.

ByteDance would be banned from the U.S. market and lose it's webhosting on U.S. servers.

Also, what's with the "foreign adversary" status of China?
