By giving the President the power to ban websites, not just apps, it opens up a whole new can of worms.

Instead of targeting foreign adversaries directly, the law holds US (or offshore) internet hosting services and app stores responsible for any breaches in security or privacy.

This is a Trojan horse that could lead to censorship and control over what people access online.

    All three are already in deep with the US security apparatus so I don’t know how it could be used against them honestly.

      Real lol it would get shot down the moment it actually threatened any of their daddy donors’ profits, or they just wouldn’t even propose it

      This is the only reason I think they might not pass it, but if they twist it just enough to serve their masters like y’all said…
