WASHINGTON β The Supreme Court heard arguments Friday over whether TikTok can be banned in the U.S. later this month in a case pitting two major issues β freedom of speech and national security β against each other.
At the end of two and a half hours of questions, the justices appeared ready to uphold a law requiring TikTok's Chinese parent company to sell off its U.S. business or face a ban.
Some of the 170 million Americans who use TikTok say the court has never confronted a free speech case that matters to so many people.
The Biden administration defended the law, saying the wildly popular short-form video app is a grave threat because China can use it to gather data on Americans or manipulate content to shape U.S. opinion.
Lawyers for TikTok and for a group of TikTok creators argued Friday the law deprives users of their preferred digital publisher, infringing on the right to free expression. Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar said that as long as TikTok is owned by China-based ByteDance, U.S. national security is at risk.
Unless the high court intervenes, Google, Apple and internet providers won't be allowed to make TikTok available after Jan. 19.
meanwhile apps like facebook are meant to specifically gather data and the fbi has the info of everyone on social media, i bet you thats true on each of the fbi's children given to Beelzebub this life and the next, ON GOD! AMEN! I SPEAK! BEELZEBUB WILL LOOK AFTER THOSE CHIDLREN BETTER THAN MANIPULATED FBI AMEN, IF THATS NOT TRUE MAY GOD STRIKE ME DOWN WITH LIGHTNJNG AS I SPEAK THIS AMEN! IN JESUS NAME I SPEAK!

Ive been harvesting YT shorts in my mind, i post more and more different psots than I see, and i HIGHLY RECCOMED taking every sound out of context and using different original videos to the sound and competely start a youtube channel thats not mainstream only because its all schizo posts lmao, but i keep getting more and more viewers the more schizo my uploads are so idk, maybe the world is just crazy
Id also like to point out the heavily implicated adult/ child ratio, and how its so messed up how many chidlren spend time on there, its basically just all alpha and boomers

YouTube shorts are already pretty big tbh. I really hope they absorb most of the TikTok viewerbase though.
