I didn't completely misunderstand, I just used the term hyper specific (rather confusingly, I admit, since you used it too) to refer to the wording of the bill. I would be surprised to see this used for other companies - the recent happenings with Kaspersky are not related to this bill.

What are you referring to here? What occurred? Do you mean the creation of another foreign TikTok?
