We haven't allowed a foreign adversary to own a media company since 1934.

This is just updating the standard. TikTok is clearly a massive threat, how is that not obvious?

    The link you cited literally explains how they tried to get around this restriction by setting it up as an autonomous non-profit (that was US-based).

    Additionally, it was required to register as a foreign agent before shutting down...

    This rather proves my point
