Summary
TikTok faces a U.S. shutdown by Jan. 19 unless the Supreme Court delays or blocks a law requiring its Chinese parent, ByteDance, to divest.
The Biden administration defends the law as a national security measure, citing potential risks of Chinese government influence. Content creators argue it violates free speech.
Donald Trump, once a supporter of the ban, seeks a delay to reach a “political resolution.”
A shutdown could cost TikTok millions of users and revenue. The court’s decision, due soon, could reshape U.S. digital speech policy.
Good. They’re an espionage company masquerading as social media. They’re a cancer.
What is facebook? Instagram? Google? Twitter? I dont use any of those if i can help it, nor TikTok. But supporting the ban of one of them while allowing the others free reign just because they’re owned in the US is insane. Their CEOs don’t have anyone’s best interests in mind except their own, as has been proven time and time again.
A cancer that has allowed tens to hundreds of thousands of people to make money without being employed by anyone else, while providing entertainment for people that can’t or don’t need to pay.
Everyone spies on everything all the time. Either write a privacy law or stop complaining some rich white people arent making enough money – because that is all this ban is.
