Court expected to uphold TikTok Ban SMH

Why so quick to label others as plants that dont agree with you? This is a complex issue so whataboutisms are definitely relevant because they provide necessary context. If the U.S. government frames the TikTok ban as a national security measure, it’s fair to ask why similar actions aren’t taken against other companies with questionable data practices? Thats in the same ballpark, you can remove Tik Tok and plug in Meta and it's the same issue.

Someone already explained that China and other Asian countries have their own social media platforms that are equivalent to ours. If they want to use the ones you mentioned, some use VPNs as its legal that way. But then again, it's equivalent to us making an account on one of their sites so unless you are in tune with their culture, or have family or friends over there it's really pointless and vice versa with them and our social media sites. I don't think anyone in here is mad they don't get to use the app, but if the many points that have been brought up is not getting across, then carry on.

Its because he has no real grasp on how much further this case goes than just data collection. His narrow mind just sees Data collection = BAD!

It could possibly violate the first amendment and the fifth amendment. Even the Supreme court states that the reason why congress is worried about data collection is because China can manipulate the content of what americans are seeing. they then state if its the content, then it touches on the first amendment and could possibly be violating the first amendment.

the funniest thing is tiktok is trying to protect the freedom of speech for americans yet people in here want the exact opposite lol.

This dude gotta be Chinese lol

Bro what? What does him being Chinese or not have anything to do with this?

If our top lawmakers and gov. officials can't differentiate a Chinese Singaporean from mainland CCP Chinese, the average American has no chance. We all look alike and come from the same place and believe the same thing .

Thanks for proving my point.

Yeah and with the Supreme Court being a joke and just a Trump and Republican sided court setup they don't mind the content being manipulated in their favor such as Elon buying Twitter or Zuck now going Maga with Facebook.

VPNs are about to eat good if this ban actually goes through.
I think the ban is reasonable in principle but llegally I don't see how it doesn't infringe on the 1st amendment.
