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?
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.
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.
