The so-called TikTok ban is a sneaky move by the government to gain control over the internet.
(docs.house.gov)
By giving the President the power to ban websites, not just apps, it opens up a whole new can of worms.
Instead of targeting foreign adversaries directly, the law holds US (or offshore) internet hosting services and app stores responsible for any breaches in security or privacy.
This is a Trojan horse that could lead to censorship and control over what people access online.
I don't think a user would need a VPN, unless I'm reading this wrong it just means that the website can't be hosted on US servers or a US-based App store.
