@Philomorph right that's precisely the problem, this can be changed unilaterally without any debate or oversight

@yogthos Well, it does say the SoC makes decisions "in consultation with the relevant executive department and agency heads" (i.e. Homeland, FCC, etc) so it's maybe not "unilateral"? Being limited to transactions between "foreign adversaries" and people in the US, adversaries defined as "any foreign government or regime, determined by the Secretary ... to have engaged in a long-term pattern or serious instances of conduct significantly adverse to the national security of the United States".

@yogthos So as written, the SoC could only add *foreign governments* with a seriously problematic history. They couldn't, say, ban Twitch, or the BBC Player I access via VPN, right?
