While I agree with banning tiktok I think SCOTUS failed on its reasoning. It is not the task of SCOTUS to make law. That is essentially what they did here. As it stands SCOTUS is allowing suppression of free speech simply because of ownership.

According to this ruling ALL social media should be banned.

They upheld a law passed by Congress.

It’s a Chinese propaganda and spying asset. Banning it is not a bad idea.

No let me guess, Trump has changed his mind about TikTok the way that opportunistic scumbags do so now your pro Chinese spyware
It’s the platform that’s being banned the people on it can say whatever they want on another platform or shock horror in person to other human beings
I personally see no difference between TikTok and META or X other than TikTok carries a lot less propaganda and misinformation along with actually being a good source of entertainment and revenue
It’ll be a shame if it gets banned by its not a free speech issue

No, not at all. This needs to be done the right way. TikTok is not the only chinese app. We saw our own govt under biden censor things they wanted unknown.

And personally I trust XI just as much as I do zuckerburg, Dorsey (when ho owned twitter) , google ect.

All platforms need to made to stop collecting personal data. There are ways to do it, filters ect.

What is happening now is US keeping control of social engineering.

And back before I was a paid member here I seen ads that reflected what I had searched on amazon or ebay. The invaision of privacy needs to be stopped.


Trump will extend this shutdown till it can be done the right way.

And he will win over gen Z. Dems and rinos just shot themselves in the foot…again

and yes it is a free speech issue
