> "Free speech" is not a good argument here. TikTok isn't a "free speech" platform.
Free speech doesn't protect free speech platforms: free speech protects every speaker, platform, and listener against regulations targeted on the basis of content/viewpoint.
Yep and you are still protected under the 1st Amendment even if you can't use TikTok because the government stopped the company from doing business in America.
Three branches of government agree that this is not regulation targeted on the basis of content or viewpoint.
