That’s fine if you want to believe that, but that’s not what the article is about that you posted. The article states that the president will be able to ban ANY non-us application by executive order which is inaccurate.

Has anybody actually read the bill?

The whole bill is about giving the government power to ban “foreign adversary controlled applications” and there’s nothing about the president being able to ban whatever app they want.

The bill defines a foreign adversary as: “a country specified in section 4872(d)(2) of title 10, United States Code”:

• The People’s Republic of China, including the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (China);

• Republic of Cuba (Cuba);

• Islamic Republic of Iran (Iran);

• Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (North Korea);

• Russian Federation (Russia); and

• Venezuelan politician Nicolás Maduro (Maduro Regime).

So unless you are on the side of the enemies of the US and want social media apps controlled by them, I don’t know why you wouldn’t support this bill.

Edit: I think the misunderstanding/misinformation comes from a few places, but ultimately I think it boils down to the fact the bill requires the app/platform to be a foreign adversary AND it requires a presidential executive order before the app will be banned.
