 Anyone know where I can read the actual bill? I’m just going to assume the bill doesn’t state tiktok specifically so they can keep it open ended to any app they want.

 Yeah foreign adversaries is a strawman to bring about more CCP style crackdowns on free speech.

 Respectfully, you are wrong.

"To protect the national security of the United States from the threat posed by foreign adversary controlled applications, such as TikTok"

This bill is not just for Tik Tok, it can and will be applied to other "foreign adversaries" as "specified in section 4872(d)(2) of title 10, United States Code."

Foreign adversaries of the US government (not its people) cannot be considered the biggest threat either. The biggest threat towards the American people is the US government itself.
