> government to protect its interests and citizens from governments that are considered adversarial

That's the exact reason why Communist China setup the firewall in the first place. Good luck.

The two are vastly different.

The GFW doesn't just block websites/networks/content that is controlled by adversarial foreign governments, but all websites/networks/content which the CCP is unable to censor. The GFW is about controlling the flow of information to its citizens from __any__ party not under the CCP's control.

The bill introduced by the Supreme Court doesn't just block Tiktok that is controlled by Bytedance, but all websites/networks/content which the POTUS deems "adversarial". The law is about controlling the flow of information to its citizens from __any__ party not under the government control.

Am I rephrasing this correctly?
