What a hyperbolic, heavy-handed headline.
This part:
a desperate attempt to keep young people from discussing Joes pet genocide where they can’t be censored by the us govt.
suggests that users are being censored by the US government. Doesn't it?
That's the opposite of what the court said.
Well, no. The courts struck down Trump's Tiktok ban because he used an executive order that overstepped his authority.
What do you mean?
Tiktok has been a subject of national security concerns since at least 2020.
I've seen that too. But they're mistaken. "Censoring the internet" is not what this law does. That's hyperbole not based on any reasonable interpretation of the actual law.
Don't misunderstand me; this is not a good law. Nobody should be happy about it. But it is prudent, wise and perhaps even necessary. Refusing to acknowledge this while ignoring that actual 1st amendment concerns that this law will be challenged on does not help your argument.
They could use their advertising platform to manipulate US public opinion and elections. And, again, this isn't to say it's fine for domestic companies to do this. But that's no argument against this law. In fact, I daresay the "gamer-to-far-right-radical pipeline" you identify is an example of this.
No, of course it's not fine.
But if it's not fine for domestic social media apps to do it, then it's even worse for a foreign adversary to do it. Right?
Which Tittok users has the US government censored?
So change parties?
