Always remember:
1. This ban happened because successive US Presidents Trump and Biden disliked the speech that was taking place on TikTok. No other reason.
2. Maybe you don't use TikTok. If the US Government can do this to TikTok, it can *and will* do it to whatever thing it is you like. This is true *even if the TikTok ban never goes into effect*. The U.S. now has a loaded, functioning weapon against free speech, and the next person who gets to use it is Donald Trump
U.S. Supreme Court upholds law banning TikTok
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled against TikTok on Friday in its challenge to a federal law that would have required the popular short-video app to be sold by its Chinese parent company ByteDance or banned in the United States on Jan. 19.

Did anybody think this through?
