Summary
TikTok plans to shut down its U.S. operations by January 19 unless the Supreme Court blocks a new law requiring its sale by Chinese parent company ByteDance.
The law, defended by the Biden administration as a national security measure, has been challenged by TikTok, ByteDance, and users as a violation of free speech.
The court, facing pressure from Trump to delay a decision, will hear arguments just days before the law’s implementation.
A shutdown could cost TikTok millions of users and ad revenue, with a ruling expected soon.
Yeah! Only Facebook can propagandize my sweet ass!
This is not an argument against banning TikTok. This is an argument for banning Facebook (and all other centralized social media) right along with it.
