        The law made that true. If you read how it is was written it states that any social media company that the president deems a threat can be blocked. Aka he doesn’t need new legislation to block any other social media company, he can just say something like “rednote isn’t majority owned by the U.S. and I think it is a security threat, block it” and it legally would have to be blocked now.
