It would give the president the authority to ban any app or website both foreign and domestic based on the wording of the text of the bill.
Can anyone verify if this is true in the text of what was passed?
I'm a big proponent of free speech and the first amendment, but I agree with the reasonings for banning it or forcing US owners. China most definitely has their hands in the data that TikTok amasses and given its popularity it's not an insignificant risk to U.S. citizens. We all know how easy it is to manipulate users... aka Cambridge Analytica. It'll be interesting to see what legal challenges come up if the bill pa…

Is there anyone who is actually upset about this?

Don't be fooled by talk about security or privacy. This is simple Nation State realpolitik. TikTok is a propaganda threat controlled by a non-friendly state to the US. Any other way to look at this is naive.

We’re not your foreign adversary? (If we are, we shouldn’t have an obligation to defend you.)
This bill permits TikTok’s sale to a European owner. It just bans its ownership by a foreign adversary country.
