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.

@jon-nyc I have absolutely no idea what you said there.
