The law was April 2024, so you know, after October 2023. The sudden political push to get that done instead of stall out line 2020-2023 is what's being talking about.
You referenced March 2023 as a restriction though, so it seems like you were aware. Between March 2023 and April 2024 something changed the political momentum, which is plainly stated, though you're refuting with what appears to be an incorrect timeline.
It is an article from May 2024 describing where Blinken and Romney explictly state the political push to get the law passed was directly influenced by TikTok demonstrating pro-Palestinian perspectives.
Also of note they didn't rule out extending similar action to entities similar to TikTok.
