Are they going to vote on each apps? That might take a while.


They vote on the first one and the next bill will be a generalized regulation that allows some member of the executive branch to determine which apps will be banned from federal devices.

Then a follow up bill will allow that same bureaucrat to decide which devices are allowed to be federally owned devices.
