My bigger problem is the sloppiness of the language here that could end up tangling American companies in the forced-divestment mechanisms, not in regulating foreign carriers inside the US. We are not obligated to allow adversarial regimes to operate social-media platforms in the US, although an argument can be made for it, I suppose. This isn't a First or Fifth Amendment issue because it's a commerce question, not a speech question. Americans have other platforms on which to express themselves. 

Is this good policy? That's debatable. But restricting foreign adversaries from operating propaganda systems in the US is not a constitutional issue.
