No, it doesn’t. This concerns a corporation subject to legitimate national security concerns, not “a person, or a group of people.”

an American corporation does in fact have some recognized legal personhood, and so a 'bill of attainder' could technically be found to exist within a legislative act which violates the legal rights of one.

under the American rule of law, that's a determination reserved for a federal court of competent jurisdiction.

Nope. Operant part of an attainder is no due process. In one year’s time, DoC will have to prove ByteDance is in violation of this law in a court. Simply naming a person isn’t enough to make a law an attainder, not even closely.
