If TikTok is a national security threat and enables foreign influence campaigns then they can go ahead and ban Fox News and literally all of the NewsCorp companies too then.

Also Twitter too of course.

The main way this bill succeeds is if it is on the grounds of Tiktok being a national security threat since it's owned and controlled by a foreign enemy (China).

That is, in fact, the official legal language in the bill. There just aren't any other significant social media networks whose corporation is beholden to a... uh, lemme check the language. Foreign adversaries, with a particular notation for Bytedance/tiktok to make it ever so slightly harder to litigate. Current countries:

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

(2) Republic of Cuba (Cuba);

(3) Islamic Republic of Iran (Iran);

(4) Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea);

(5) Russian Federation (Russia); and

(6) Venezuelan politician Nicolás Maduro (Maduro Regime).

with the possible exception of Russia I rather doubt there are any other relevant social media platforms at all, never mind large ones; there might be some Russian-owned webforum out there that could be caught in the net

e: oops mistook which thread i was in and apparently I posted this last page basically

Esteemed X poster @rapingforhitler had not violated any rules in the reported post, and would not be punished in any way.

But in a shocking twist, that user had already been suspended for something else, so it ended up being a moot point.
