What founding principle is the SCOTUS saying doesn't matter with this ruling?

[flagged]

  • I don't think your freedom of speech is being curtailed by not being able to watch funny videos or propaganda on an app. TikTok also isn't an American company. Foreign companies have always been subject to U.S. regulations and laws that differ from the rights of American-owned businesses, as it should be and will continue to be.

    But don't worry either way. It'll be wildly popular for Trump to save TikTok and he does really well on the platform so it'll be saved.

    • Friend. I do not worry. I dislike all social media and would not shed one tear if all those were dismantled.

      What I shed a tear for is slow decline of US and its founding principles, because George Carlin clearly was right. Even if you barely pay attention, the list your your temporary privileges is slowly getting shorter.

      edit: Even the fact that I have to explain it at such a basic level is tremendously sad.
