    I am not sure specifically (since the US has multiple bans/Patriot Act 2.0 bills all in play) if the current ban bill being talked about is this one as the "news" sites just keep saying the "TikTok Ban Bill" and not directly saying which one. But at least the HR 686 anti "TikTok" bills mentions that people that are caught using banned apps from listed adversary nations (which the PRC is listed by name) and/or bypassing bans to use the services can be both jailed for 20yrs and a possible fine of one million dollars. It also seems to share a lot of similar items as the other "TikTok Ban" bill, HR 1153
