If that were true then they wouldn't have given ByteDance the option to sell 80% to citizens and continue operating.

The law also bans every company from doing the same thing, sending personal data to any of the listed adversarial nations or being more than 20% owned by them. Why ban every company if they only cared about the Palestine message?

So how are a ton of people going to red note? Shouldn't that have been banned a long time ago if they ban every company?

Probably difficult to enforce if RedNote doesn't have American servers or offices, we will see if anything happens.

Making ByteDance sell 80% to US companies is a win for the powers that be because then that too can be manipulated by right-wing oligarchs.

I don't trust Chinese companies all that much either, but Mitt Romney outright said this was about Palestine, you can see another reply of mine below with a link.

Except the entire point of that is the U.S. ownership would succumb to that pressure.

*U.S. Citizen Ownership

Because yeah, Chinese Military ownership is problematic for an app used by US Citizens.
