    They can’t intervene. It was decided in court. Trump might intervene because he doesn’t care about following the law.

      Yes it’s a bad thing. This legislation gives very broad power to the federal government to ban apps and platforms without any oversight. It might be TikTok today, but it could be Lemmy tomorrow.
