    The “ban” is. i wish people would read what the actual bill says.

    The bill stipulates that any entity in the control of a foreign adversary with a certain user threshold that collects specific data and uses algorithms to track users would be banned. This is why the red note “protest” is also not going to work. They’ll just ban rednote as well. The ban is about more than just tik tok.

      This is not sustainable at all and is going to lead to a chain of banning app after platform after app as users move to the next thing and the government struggles to keep up with regulation.

      I can’t say I’m surprised by American government clown show tactics at this point but this is, most definitely, clown show tactics.
