It's any app they can point to as being controlled. It does not matter where it is based. As an example they could allege that one of the owners of Discord has Russian contacts and is therefore controlled by a foreign adversary. (He was born in Kharkiv, Ukraine; where contact between Russians and Ukrainians wasn't uncommon before the current war.)

Congress can request a briefing but if they want to prevent a fire sale they have to pass an entirely new bill amending the law.

And this article is so transparently an ad for Red Note it's ridiculous.
