They're already expending that manpower for the purposes of OPSEC. All those people already exist and are actively doing this job in the government. To add to that, literally all it calls for is for an order to remove the app from apps stores by adding it to a list of apps already banned. That doesn't require extra man-power. Even if they bother with an "investigation" by the AG's office etc (which is actually in the bill), it's likely that relevant app stores will just remove the apps once they come understand investigation because the government is looking into them.
