Summary
The US Supreme Court will hear arguments on TikTok’s future amid a looming nationwide ban set for January 19 unless Chinese parent company ByteDance divests its US assets.
The case pits national security concerns against free speech protections, with critics citing fears of Chinese government influence and data misuse.
TikTok disputes these claims, arguing the ban violates the First Amendment.
Trump, once an advocate for a TikTok ban, now opposes it, urging a negotiated resolution.
I wasn’t aware that the first amendment protects the Chinese right to our data. Also, they couldn’t get a Trump sentencing before the election, but the SC can hear this case before the 19th? I am so tired of the two tier government. The common man has to take back our government.
They got one today. The judge dismissed it without penalty after a guilty verdict 😮💨

Before the election
They don’t care about data, they care about not being able to control what we talk about.
If they cared about data they would address the endless data breaches US corporations allow to happen every year.
Not sure what you mean
Take back? Our government never belonged to “the common man”. This is a country of the rich, by the rich, for the rich, and always has been.
Ok cool. Doesn’t change what I said.
It does if you’re being pedantic!
It does entirely.
Taking control of a government that’s designed to disenfranchise you is a very different task than reforming a government that used to be responsive but was captured by hostile interests.
That’s wild.
Yes it does, our government has never been representative of the working class, and it’s not about data
I believe that’s for an individual to decide for themselves, not the government. It’s their personal data after all.
Even if it’s harmful to you and others?
I don’t see how me compromising my data affects you, unless I was stupid enough to do it in a government or military position. It’s already banned there.
