Legal experts warn that the definition of a prohibited practice in the bill depends on, among other things, whether the practice is “controlled by a foreign adversary.” This vague term can cover a multitude of platforms.
Critics, including 65 House members who voted against the bill, argue that the legislation ignores free speech principles and was rushed through without due consideration.
The bill gives the president significant authority to unilaterally ban apps that have more than a million users, affecting even small platforms. These powers, combined with the bill’s vague definition of “foreign control,” increase the likelihood of unintended consequences.
