Why not regulate how the data is used or stored, like the EU does, but ban?

I'm really hoping this doesn't become a reality because if it does, we will end up with partitioned internet and stagnation.

People often forget that the US companies are foreign entity for most of the worlds population and with the WikiLeaks revelations we know for a fact that the US government has access to the data of American tech companies.

Somebody more in the know, will this actually pass?

Almost certainly not, at least in this iteration - but Meta's stock is up ~6%, so it's not nothing

This makes me wonder how much Meta is financing any lobbying effort to get this passed?
