The media refers to it as a TikTok ban and its apparent that TikTok is the inspiration, but the RESTRICT act never mentions TikTok specifically. Instead, the act:
> proposes that the Secretary of Commerce be given the power to review business transactions involving certain information and communications technologies products or services when they are connected to a "foreign adversary" of the United States, and pose an "undue and unacceptable risk" to the national security of the United States or its citizens.
A court could still find it unconstitutional depending on how its targeted and the statements of its sponsors, but textually it is a ban based on broad criteria.
