    Interesting. Reason had an article on why the TikTok ban is unconstitutional.

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

      “As far as TikTok is concerned we’re banning them from the United States,” Trump said aboard Air Force One as he returned to Washington after a fundraising trip to Florida.

      Trump described the action as "severance" and said he could sign an order as soon as Saturday. “Well, I have that authority," he said.

      "I can do it with an executive order or that,” Trump said, referring to emergency economic powers.

      Treating his supporters as if they have the memory of a goldfish. That is Deplorable!!!

                Probably has something to do with Barron running his TikTok campaign. I think that's also why he's been doing his "podcast tour".

                  https://www.npr.org/2024/09/16/g-s1-23194/tiktok-us-ban-appeals-court

                  After several hours of questioning, however, it was difficult to gauge which way the court is leaning in the high-stakes legal saga that is the most dire-yet challenge TikTok has faced.

                  A panel of three judges from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit appeared dubious of TikTok’s plea that free expression surpasses the national security concerns of Washington. That’s because TikTok’s parent company, ByteDance, is based in China, an adversary of the United States.

                  At the same time, the judges also pointed out that millions of American TikTok users, and TikTok’s U.S. operations, do have First Amendment protections and the government shutting down the app could violate those rights.

                    Shutting down the app isn’t actually a realistic outcome. They’d sell it.

                      Hmm. I am not sure that they would. A lot of algorithms, etc. probably used by CCP that they would not want others to have.

                          By the way, I wonder how much necrotic flesh one would need to consume to find this a convincing argument for not insisting on divestment.
