The version of the bill I saw just earlier today (linked from a CNN article a few days ago) mentioned TikTok and ByteDance by name:
Relevant section> (3) FOREIGN ADVERSARY CONTROLLED APPLI -8 CATION .—The term ‘‘foreign adversary controlled application’’ means a website, desktop application, mobile application, or augmented or immersive technology application that is operated, directly or indirectly (including through a parent company, subsidiary, or affiliate), by— > > (A) any of— > > (i) ByteDance, Ltd.; > > (ii) TikTok; > > (iii) a subsidiary of or a successor to an entity identified in clause (i) or (ii) that is controlled by a foreign adversary; or > > (iv) an entity owned or controlled, directly or indirectly, by an entity identified in clause (i), (ii), or (iii);
This was under the definition of “adversary company.” So it was there at one point.
But that’s a big change, so I’m going to reread the bill to see if I need to revise my opinion on it. But the bill I read linked from CNN earlier today was bad in several ways.
