TikTok ban case: US Supreme Court begins hearing oral arguments

ai generated text

The US Supreme Court recently held a hearing on the matter, with Chief Justice John Roberts and Associate Justice Clarence Thomas expressing skepticism towards TikTok's challenge. They suggested that the law was aimed at ByteDance as a non-American entity, rather than TikTok's content.

    1. A so-called national security pretext can be used to arbitrarily sideline successful companies from other countries.
  2. US
    Donald Trump
    Republican Party
    1. I have a warm spot in my heart for TikTok because I won youth by 34 points.
  3. US

    US Department of Justice
    1. China … is hoping that the US is going to blink first.
  4. US
    Clarence Thomas
    US Supreme Court
    1. Any new TikTok would be a fundamentally different platform with different content, which is yet another reason why I think this is a content-based restriction that falls directly on TikTok.
  5. US
    Amy Coney Barrett
    US Supreme Court
    1. The law doesn't say TikTok has to shut down. It says ByteDance has to divest. If ByteDance divested TikTok, we wouldn't be here, right?
  6. US
    Samuel Alito
    US Supreme Court
    1. Why would it all change if it was simply hidden under some kind of contrived corporate structure?
  7. US
    John Roberts
    US Supreme Court
    1. Instead, he respectfully requests that the Court consider staying the Act's deadline for divestment of January 19, 2025, while it considers the merits of this case, thus permitting President Trump's incoming administration the opportunity to pursue a political resolution of the questions at issue in the case.
    2. That however, is a decision that the First Amendment leaves to the people, given that the government's data security rationale cannot independently sustain the act.
  8. CN
    TikTok
    1. We believe the Court will find the TikTok ban unconstitutional so the over 170 million Americans on our platform can continue to exercise their free speech rights.
