Would this sort of targeted app ban by the federal govt be the first of its kind in US? Without any arguments of the pros or cons, the precedent I think is worthy of some consideration.


Not sure about apps specifically, but there's plenty of precedent for banning foreign-owned media (newspapers, tv stations) in the United States. This seems like a natural evolution of those old laws.


I think Grindr underwent a forced divestiture from its Chinese owners due to US gov as well.
