Isn’t the title misrepresenting? The actual name of the bill is “ H.R.7521 - Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act.” Also, the word ban is no where to be found in the document.
Second, from my reading this is about divestiture? This is not about a blanket ban.
The US already imposes foreign ownership limits (20%) on broadcast TV and radio. It is therefore pretty reasonable (to me) to impose limits on foreign ownership of social media sites.
