You're right; the bill is aimed at adversarial threats to national security. Social media isn't the end, just the means in this case. >we'd expect to see divides of a similar magnitude throughout the world, and that is not the case. I'm not sure if this premise holds. For one, I think it's missing the nuance about the size and heterogeneity of the U.S. Take, for example, the thesis that the country is more accurately comprised of multiple different dominant sub-cultures.[1] I think when you expand the other Western democracies similarly, we see analagous divisions (see: Brexit).
