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 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.
