The '''Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act'''<ref>https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/house-bill/7521</ref> passed the House of Representatives on March 13, 2024. This analysis will explain in plain language what it can be made to do.
I've told you it's called X so many times and you still keep calling it Twitter. I'm actually so fucking devastated. I can't believe you would say such a thing as to call my beloved x.com platform by the wrong name. It's now owned by our lord and savior Elon Musk, who graciously gifted upon us the X branding. I love X so fucking much. You couldn't even comprehend just how many hours I've put into the X platform, I post an X every day. None of this fucking tweet bullshit, it's called an X. Do you understand how important X is to me? I live and breathe fucking X. I post an X whenever something important happens on my life. My X followers learned of the birth of my first child when I posted my most popular X on X.com. And you think it's funny to just steamroll over that with all this twitter talk? I mean, who does you think you are? This behavior is not what Elon had in mind when taking over as CEO of X. It literally says X at the top of the page, the app is called X. I don't even know what to say to you right now. How dare you. I'll be posting an X about this conversation in the near future, so I hope you get a taste of how you made me feel next time you're scrolling on X.
