Thank you. I am not a lawyer but watching all the internet panic over this bill has had me wanting to smash my head against a wall. I don't think people understand that our legal system is based on precedent* and not just whatever broad argument an internet person wants to make based on their own selective interpretation of the terms.

I am for banning tiktok, but this bill seems to enable significantly more than that. Why shouldn't I be concerned about that?
