      Potentially, but the ban was never about solving a problem it was about being seen doing something. The average old person voter who isn’t serially online has never heard of RedNote and probably won’t for many years, so the skeletons in congress don’t have to address it.

      Yes, technically speaking as passed the ban could be enforced against any app controlled by a “Foreign Adversary” as deemed by the gov (so China, Russia etc.) and is determined to be of significant threat to national security.
