The neat thing about a rules-based order is that if China beats you, you can just change the rules and then win.
Biden literally set up this ban for the day before Trump takes office, so Trump has to deal with the issue.
The Supreme Court seemed inclined on Friday to uphold a law that would force a sale or ban the popular short-video app TikTok in the United States by Jan. 19, with the justices focusing on the national security concerns about China that prompted the crackdown.
During about 2-1/2 hours of arguments, the nine justices pressed lawyers representing TikTok, its Chinese parent company ByteDance and app users about the risk of China’s government exploiting the platform to spy on Americans and carry out covert influence operations – while also probing free speech concerns.
“Are we supposed to ignore the fact that the ultimate parent is, in fact, subject to doing intelligence work for the Chinese government?” conservative Chief Justice John Roberts asked Noel Francisco, a lawyer for TikTok and ByteDance.
What a faggot.
What is “intelligence work”? What does that phrase even mean in this context?
The companies and users sued to block the law passed by Congress with strong bipartisan support last year and signed by outgoing Democratic President Joe Biden, whose administration is defending it. They appealed a lower court’s ruling upholding the law and rejecting their argument that it violates the U.S. Constitution’s First Amendment protection against government abridgment of free speech.
Some justices raised apprehensions about the law’s impact on free speech, but their prevailing concern seemed centered on the national security implications of a social media platform with foreign owners that collects data from a domestic user base of 170 million Americans, about half the U.S. population.
Conservative Justice Brett Kavanaugh asked Francisco about potential long-term risks of China gathering data on users, especially those who flocked to the app at a young age, and using “that information over time to develop spies, to turn people, to blackmail people – people who a generation from now will be working in the FBI or the CIA or the State Department.”
This is all just total nonsense, and it’s not even clear why the Supreme Court would have a right to rule on Chinese spying. They should be ruling on whether the US government is unilaterally allowed to ban speech. That is the only constitutional question here. Even if the Chinese were spying on people with TikTok, which is impossible, that would have no bearing on the case that is before the court.
TikTok only gets the same data that every other app can get. If it is banned, and we decide only American companies should be able to have apps on American phones, then logically you would have to ban every other app owned by foreigners. And yet, the government is not even trying to ban other apps owned by the Chinese.
If spying by app owners was actually a concern, you would order Apple and Google to restrict the amount of data that apps can get access to. But there is no concern about this issue generally. It’s only about TikTok.
There are two reasons:
- American tech companies don’t want competition from China
- The US government doesn’t want people being able to view video from the genocide the Jews are committing
It has nothing at all to do with spying. This is just a big hoax. Every single app works the same way, and Apple and Google have all of their code. People can choose to share a certain amount of information with the app, and most of it is not especially sensitive. The most sensitive thing you can share with an app is your location data.
The subhuman pederast Josh Hawley said straightforwardly that he wants to ban TikTok to protect the feelings of Jewish people.
This is one of the big problems with allowing men who sodomize young boys in the government: they are very easily blackmailed, and they will always be blackmailed by the Jews.
I have called for removing all of these pederasts from the government. I have also asked Republicans why they keep supporting blatant homosexuality in what is supposed to be a Christian party.
TikTok is not the threat. The government that thinks they have a right to silence speech is the threat.
