Essentially the US has to destroy the last 100 years of jurisprudence in multiple arenas (free speech, copyright, etc) to effectively create this ban. The reason the TIkTok ban was ruled legal is because by the US law, your speech is your speech, the platform is the platform, so there is a technicality there that can be used without talking about chilling effects. GPL and OSS enables "their" speech to be "your" speech in terms of software.

It’ll be done without anyone caring like everything else in this country. They’ll ramp up the Cold War language, get burger brains on their side with Xenophobia and fear mongering and we’ll be staring actual war in the face before you know it.
