It's hard to tell whether you're being intentionally obtuse or are just naturally pedantic, but look at the headline in every news article (including this one on HN).

No reasonable person in the US knows this as anything but The TikTok Bill.

That's the fault of the media, not the government.

No, I feel OK blaming the people voting for the TikTok Bill.

Can you say "Obamacare"? This is totally about the media/propaganda.

I don’t see how this is about the media.

Can you list the companies that will need to divest as a result of this bill passing?
