Interestingly, the bill gives a definition of a "social media company", that's fairly specific [1, pages 7-8] and fun to ponder on its own [2]. The flimsiest bullet point in the definition might be that the company "sells digital advertising space". If TikTok started gating access to paid accounts only, I wonder if they would no longer qualify be a "social media company"! And therefore not be a "threat".
