Notes on the "tiktok ban" that is to my knowledge only so far passed by the house. It is designed to pressure ByteDance (Chinese parent company) to sell tiktok which is based out of Los Angeles and Singapore. Actual text of the law:
it shall be unlawful for an entity to distribute, maintain, or update (or enable the distribution, maintenance, or updating of) a foreign adversary controlled application.
YT shorts was made to compete with Tiktok pretty much. It starts so many dumb trends and "challenges" many of which can injure people, the rest of it is brainrot and the only good thing to come out of it is cat memes IMO (although I never directly use Tiktok)
