Hmm, I may be reading it wrong, but it’s just talking about the distribution/updating of foreign controlled applications. Based on what I’ve seen Marvel Snap isnt controlled by them, they just provide services for the application, so it wouldn’t technically apply. However, I’m not a lawyer and may have the wrong read on the app, but given the game developers were surprised I’d think that’s the right read.

I’m actually not sure how you’d label the axis here. The info being conveyed is the relationship between two separate things.

I feel like bytedance is doing this on purpose to rule people up, as these kinds of services weren’t explicity called out.

It may backfire though. I don’t think most Americans know how much is influenced/owned by Chinese companies.
