Fisher said that Americans have a "fundamental interest" in working with the publisher or editor of their choice

Good call. Let's ban them both.

The part that actually describes how the ban would work is at least one hyperlink away from the article.

If ByteDance doesn't sell TikTok, app stores in the US would have to drop the app, and Internet hosting services would be prohibited from providing services that enable distribution of TikTok in the US. Companies that violate the prohibition would have to pay civil penalties.

(5) INTERNET HOSTING SERVICE.—The term “internet hosting service” means a service through which storage and computing resources are provided to an individual or organization for the accommodation and maintenance of 1 or more websites or online services, and which may include file hosting, domain name server hosting, cloud hosting, and virtual private server hosting.

You can't spy on our citizens, that's our (and our corporations') job!

Signed, the US Government
