AI Summary
This bill would erase the federal law that let the government label certain apps as “foreign adversary controlled” and restrict them. It also says any past designations under that law no longer count, making them void. In plain terms: the “TikTok ban” law would be repealed, and any app previously flagged under it would no longer be restricted because of that label.
If enacted, the change would take effect right away and apply backward, canceling earlier listings. That means people could keep using affected apps, and creators, small businesses, and advertisers could continue operating on those platforms without those specific federal restrictions.
- Who is affected: app users, creators, small businesses, advertisers, app stores, and developers
- What changes: the prior law is repealed; any “foreign adversary controlled app” designations are wiped out
- When: upon enactment, with retroactive effect on past designations
