Sigh. This article has some legitimate criticism of the bill, such as the jingo-ism animating it and the first amendment implications of banning TikTok.
Alongside that, though, is the same sky-is-falling rhetoric. It's justified by linking another article which uses as its source... not joking... "Internet Rumors". Maybe just ask a lawyer before saying what the bill does or doesn't do?
Possibly one from the EFF, for example? They'd even be on your side in opposing the bill.

This is the article he's vague-commenting about:

What a weird thing to say when there are idiots in Congress with law degrees who don't understand the law, the Constitution, or the consequences of what they write or vote on.
