npub15x4zdwm9h6f88jpsslct9ehxffg0cnr0ejhp9t0pz60s2qx6myvsu23p3l (npub15x4…3p3l) twitter provided a firehouse of data to usgovt which was used as a data source for a “total information awareness” like intel program. Perhaps with twitters melt down, US intel is looking for new firehouses and ByteDance is uncooperative. The legislation then becomes a way to pressure them to comply. Spitballing but this is a logical hypothesis given the info gathering capabilities the govt has pursued in the past. E.g. John Poindexter, IBM Tealeaf and the “shuttered” TIA program.
