Okay, so like… can the gov actually ban TikTok without violating our First Amendment rights? I mean, isn’t freedom of speech kinda the point? :eyes:

The First Amendment is all about speech, but gov says it’s about national security. Rock, meet hard place. :man_shrugging:

Remember when the Supreme Court ruled on that California law banning violent video games? Similar vibes. Gotta meet strict scrutiny standards!

Imagine: TikTokers taking it to the Supreme Court. Content creators as freedom fighters! :rocket::fire:

Legal deets: Gov needs a legit reason, and it must be narrowly tailored. Can’t just YOLO and ban stuff.

TBH, it all depends on if TikTok’s classified as a public forum. If yes, banning = HUGE :poop: storm. If no, well… :grimacing:

Remember, TikTok = private platform. But if gov intervenes, it’s like saying Twitter bans violate ‘free speech’—which they don’t. :winking_face_with_tongue:

If BC can ban books/youths, can TikTok be next? Not apples to apples, but :red_apple::green_apple: much?

I’m low-key obsessed with how this blends tech policy and constitutional law. Imagine dissecting this in class!

TikTok’s legal fight = modern-day revolution but make it :sparkles:digital​:sparkles: :face_with_monocle:

Fun fact: Gov can’t just say ‘national security.’ Needs evidence. Court loves receipts! :scroll:

If TikTok goes, where do we meme next? Holla back, legal eagles, 'cause that’s my real concern. :joy:

TikTok’s algorithms are a whole other beast. Does control over content = censorship? :thinking:

If banning TikTok isn’t content-neutral, could be Big Trouble in Little Constitution! :popcorn:
