The downstream effect is the customer is now divorced of the reality of the products they enjoy. Unknowingly incentivizing evil

I have read the Appelate Court’s ruling to deny TikTok’s request for a stay, it is available here: media.cadc.uscourts.gov/opinions/doc...
The most troubling part is the Orwellian reinterpretation of plain English. Specifically as it pertains to Court’s decision re the Act is a “Bill of Attainder”
