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.
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?

For no reason? China is using TikTok to derail elections in entire countries and promote civil strive everywhere by radicalising people against each other, while its Chinese counterpart is almost an educational app. TikTok is not a social media app, it’s the psyops equivalent of a nuclear weapon.
You have evidence for this now? Did I miss where evidence other than, “trust us”, was released?

Here you are again defending TikTok. Your last argument in another thread was I was echoing Trumps talking points. When I pointed out Trump actually doesn’t want to ban TikTok like this article highlights, I didn’t hear anything back.
So enlighten us, what is bad about TikTok being banned?
Is it truly so hard to believe that a service that literally crafts content to deliver to you on a person/demographic basis that is owned by a competitive state would be used to deliver narratives and ideas that erode the stability and well being of the other states?
Romania, US elections are perfect examples of this, but the danger has been here for awhile now.
How naive can you be? TikTok ain’t shit, it’s literally just a fucking video hosting service, you think only Xi and China can serve you an endless stream of slop, 10 seconds at a time?
Grow up, open your eyes. Seeing a threat for what it is doesn’t mean you would literally agree with Hitler (nice logical fallacy btw)
