Summary
The Justice Department urged the Supreme Court to reject Donald Trump’s request to delay a law banning TikTok or forcing its sale by Jan. 19, 2025.
TikTok’s parent, ByteDance, claims the ban violates First Amendment rights, but the DOJ argued the law targets foreign ownership, not free speech, and passes constitutional scrutiny.
Trump, despite opposing a ban publicly, asked the Court to extend the deadline to seek a political resolution.
The Supreme Court will hear arguments on Jan. 10, with the ban set to take effect before Trump’s inauguration.
He fucking asked for it during his first mandate!
The difference is Russia knows how to manipulate Tik Tok now, as recent events in Romania have made abundantly clear. They no doubt used it to help Trump get elected.
Primarily due to kids fucking with his rallies. But now Dems decided to risk the income of a few million Americans and the circuses of a couple hundred million Americans for no real reason. So it’s an easy political win for Trump if he can stop it, while of course enriching himself and his donors that have stakes in bytedance.
Sorry, “a few million Americans” make their money from TikTok? When did this start?
There’s a shop. TikTok is the modern Etsy, where you can literally watch your product get made.
That sounds like it would be a minor side hustle for a few hundred thousand people and a major source of income for maybe a couple of hundred at most. I doubt it’s a few million.
I doubt it’s in the millions too, but it’s definitely a significant number, not just a handful of people.
…have you never heard of influencers, the number one job kids want to do when they grow up in every poll done on the matter since 2012?
